Improvement of our understanding of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) mechanisms is crucial for successful future prediction of AMV and associated climate impacts, with enormous social and economic implications. In a recent study, led by former CIMES Researcher Xiaoqin Yan, the authors…
Dynamical seasonal prediction systems have recently shown great promises in predicting tropical cyclone activity. GFDL’s Forecast–oriented Low Ocean Resolution (FLOR) model (Vecchi et al. 2014) provides experimental predictions to National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) each month as part of the North American Multi-Model Ensemble …

A recent study, led by CIMES Researcher Minjin Lee, uses GFDL’s Land Model (LM3-TAN) to analyze the past two and half centuries of land nitrogen storage, fluxes, and pollution to the ocean and atmosphere, considering not only the effect of increased…
In parts of many estuaries and other coastal areas, such as the Chesapeake Bay, the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the water regularly drops to a value so low that many species of fish, crabs, and other ecologically and economically important creatures are unable to live. This condition, known as hypoxia, is often driven by warm…
CIMES Principal Investigator Laure Resplandy, an assistant professor in Geosciences and the Princeton Environmental Institute, was awarded the prestigious 2019 Sloan Research Fellowship, a highly competitive grant given to outstanding young scholars working at the frontiers of their…
The academic publishing company Springer Nature announced that a paper coauthored by Princeton University and GFDL scientists last year is among the ten most downloaded journal articles about climate published by Springer in 2018. The paper, “Shifting patterns of mild…
