The Indian Ocean represents one of the great frontiers in climate science and oceanography. Bordered by nearly 40 countries, and home to a third of the global population, changes to climate in this area of the world could have major societal and economic impacts. Currently, the Indian Ocean and its surrounding countries stand out globally…

Carr, T., & Ummenhofer, C. C. (2024). Impact of atmospheric circulation variability on U.S. Midwest moisture sources. Journal of Climate, 37, 59-75. https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-23-0178.1 Estimates of future changes in precipitation over land are poorly constrained owing to uncertainty about changes in atmospheric circulation and specific humidity over land. Recent work suggests one way to better-constrain these land precipitation…
