QBOi El Niño Southern Oscillation experiments: assessing relationships between ENSO, MJO, and QBO Abstract. This study uses an ensemble of climate model experiments coordinated by the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation initiative (QBOi) to analyze the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) in the presence of eit...

For fans of the QBO, here is a new paper from Dillon Elsbury of the modelled connections between the QBO, MJO and ENSO. Other acronym connections possibly exist too! wcd.copernicus.org/articles/7/3...

State of the UK Weather and Climate Sector: Have your say Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.

We need your voice.

RMetS, with the Met Office, has launched the first State of the UK Weather & Climate Sector survey.

If you work or study in weather or climate, your insight matters.

Please share – a strong sector needs a strong evidence base.

🌍 Our new @natclimate.nature.com study, led by @xuyanbin.bsky.social shows climate variations like El Niño don’t just affect weather — they can shape long-term human health and economic outcomes. Proud to contribute on the climate science side.

2026 outlook: likely another year above 1.4°C The Met Office outlook for the global average temperature in 2026 suggests an extension of the run of years with a value above 1.4°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.

Met Office 2026 global temperature forecast released today: very likely a fourth consecutive year above 1.4 C and >1.5 C possible again. Highlights the vanishingly small headroom we have to stay below 1.5 C to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.

Friends at NCAR, we're with you.

@ncar-ucar.bsky.social is a trailblazer in community modelling driven not by idealogy, but by open science. We share all our code, thoughts, ideas. These can't be shut down.

We'll fight and find every mechanism to support the ongoing CESM community.

The beautiful idea of NCAR, to improve understanding of our planet through a cooperative, shared and open intellectual team effort, is literally what has got me out of bed every morning for nearly two decades. This cannot, CANNOT be allowed to happen.

eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

Congratulations to all @uniofexeternews.bsky.social graduates in Mathematics and Statistics and other STEM subjects.
