Hydrological regime shifts in Sahelian watersheds: an investigation with a simple dynamical model driven by annual precipitation
Abstract. The Sahel, the semi-arid fringe south of the Sahara, experienced severe meteorological droughts in the '70s–'80s. Since these droughts, watersheds in the Central Sahel have experienced an in...

Usable climate science is adaptation science - Climatic Change
The author argues that in the present historical moment, the only climate science that is truly usable is that which is oriented towards adaptation, because current policies and politics are so far fr...

Draft chapter outline for IPCC AR7 WGI is now public - *subject to approval* at the plenary, end of Feb

What's new?

Compared to AR6:
-More concise
-greater range of modeling approaches
-chapters span Earth System domains
-considers diverse physical scenarios

Strongly agree that "clearer, more specific language to describe the phenomena labelled as tipping points" is needed, due to all the existing definitions

Here is an illustration (for a bistable model) of "my definition" so far:

Excellent, as always - from @bobkopp.net et al

In addition, we don't say often enough that though there may be tipping _elements_, there's little evidence to date for global scale tipping points.

Best understanding remains that we warm as much as we cumulatively emit. No more, no less.

First post on @bsky.app 🎉:

Can #AI-based weather forecasting models (trained on present-day data) provide skillful forecasts also in different colder and warmer states of the climate system?

Our preprint in arxiv explores this question:
doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Here is what we found so far (🧵1/7)
Robustness of AI-based weather forecasts in a changing climate
Data-driven machine learning models for weather forecasting have made transformational progress in the last 1-2 years, with state-of-the-art ones now outperforming the best physics-based models for a ...

New paper on #CMIP7 emissions-driven design out today in GMD.

Earth System Modeling has long relied on simulations driven by GHG concentrations. But this approach is outdated.

ESMs need to resolve human activity and its consquences.

Abstract. Previous phases of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) have primarily focused on simulations driven by atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), for both idealized ...
