Traditional #ClimateModels have long relied on physics. What happens when statistics steps in?
Vincent Verjans (@bsc-cns.bsky.social) is testing how statistical techniques can complement predictions from climate models. 📊🌦️

#EXPECTproject #ClimateChange #ClimateVariability #ClimateResearch #HorizonEU
EXPECT is launching today a 2-day #workshop on the drivers of climate variability, from seasonal to multi-decadal scales!
📅 Agenda:
22 Sept (14:00–17:05)
Join us live here: bit.ly/4nLJK47
23 Sept (14:00–16:30)
Join us live here: bit.ly/47UG8YL
Don't miss the discussion!
How can we test predictions of a future that hasn’t happened yet?
Vincent Verjans (@bsc-cns.bsky.social) uses cross-validation to check how accurate the models are.

🌡️ The sharp global warming in 2023-2024 was highly predictable.
A November 2022 forecast ensemble captured ~75% of 2023’s rise. 📈
Forecast skill depends on predicting:
🔍 Strong El Niño
🔍 Enhanced shortwave radiation absorption

A new study uncovers: atmospheric circulation shifts explain up to 40% of the excess winter warming in Europe!
⚠️ Most climate models miss this, adding uncertainty to future predictions.
🧭 What’s driving this European heat-up? Read the publication 👉 bit.ly/4k0OAbU
🌡️ Why could central and northern Europe, compared to the south, face additional challenges in adapting to upcoming summer heatwaves?
New research shows that changes in internal climate variability, not just rising temperatures, are driving this emerging divide 👉 bit.ly/3U0AD2s
How deep is your knowledge of climate change? 🕹️ Take the I4C #MakeItReal quiz by our sister project @impetus4change.bsky.social!
It’s suitable for all ages and profiles! No science background needed, just curiosity! 💡
Can we improve climate predictions 10–20 years ahead?
Yes, by combining internal variability using past observations & decadal forecasts! 📊
💡This study shows this approach reduces uncertainty & boosts regional climate accuracy

Did you know that land can amplify extreme weather? 🌡
🌵 Dry soils heat the air faster, intensifying heatwaves.
💧 Saturated soils boost humidity, fuelling heavier rainfall.
