• Projections Versus Observations of Extreme Temperatures Over Land During 2006–2023 (2026) · Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres · doi

  Given that the reliability of climate models in projecting extreme temperatures remains unclear, we conduct a genuine “forecast” verification by comparing the independent near‐term projections of extreme temperature indices over land by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models with the subsequent observations during the out‐of‐sample period of 2006–2023.

• Why does the signal-to-noise paradox exist in seasonal climate predictability? (2026) · Geoscientific model development · doi

  Future research should focus on developing more accurate seasonal climate prediction models. Future research should investigate the role of model-related factors in estimating the potential predictability limit. Future research should explore the application of the study's findings to other climate prediction models.

• Better CMIP6 Models in the Simulation of Cloud Radiative Fields Indicate Larger Cloud Feedback (2026) · Advances in Atmospheric Sciences · doi

  The study only evaluates historical simulations from CMIP6 models and does not consider future projections. The study uses a limited number of models and observations. The study does not account for other sources of uncertainty in climate sensitivity.

• Indian Ocean Dipole extremes extend seasonal predictability of North China Plain summer heat (2026) · npj Climate and Atmospheric Science · doi

  Prior work has not examined the relationship between Indian Ocean Dipole extremes and the predictability of summer heat over the North China Plain. The study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the predictability limit of summer extreme maximum temperature.
