    • Benefits of Increasing the Model Resolution for the Seasonal Forecast Quality in EC-Earth 

      Prodhomme, Chloé; Batté, L.; Massonnet, François; Davini, P.; Bellprat, Omar; Guemas, Virginie; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco (American Meteorological Society, 2016-12-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Resolution in climate models is thought to be an important factor for advancing seasonal prediction capability. To test this hypothesis, seasonal ensemble reforecasts are conducted over 1993–2009 with the European community ...
    • Impact of equatorial Atlantic variability on ENSO predictive skill 

      Exarchou, Eleftheria; Ortega Montilla, Pablo; Rodríguez Fonseca, Belén; Losada, Teresa; Polo, Irene; Prodhomme, Chloé (Springer Nature, 2021)
      Article
      Open Access
      El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key mode of climate variability with worldwide climate impacts. Recent studies have highlighted the impact of other tropical oceans on its variability. In particular, observations ...
    • Impact of land-surface initialization on sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts over Europe 

      Prodhomme, Chloé; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco; Bellprat, Omar; Dutra, Emanuel (Springer, 2015-11-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      Land surfaces and soil conditions are key sources of climate predictability at the seasonal time scale. In order to estimate how the initialization of the land surface affects the predictability at seasonal time scale, we ...
    • Multi-model skill assessment of seasonal temperature and precipitation forecasts over Europe 

      Mishra, Niti; Prodhomme, Chloé; Guemas, Virginie (Springer Verlag, 2018-08-31)
      Article
      Open Access
      There is now a wide range of forecasts and observations of seasonal climatic conditions that can be used across a range of application sectors, including hydrological risk forecasting, planning and management. As we rely ...
    • Precipitation response to extreme soil moisture conditions over the Mediterranean 

      Ardilouze, Constantin; Materia, Stefano; Batté, Lauriane; Benassi, Marianna; Prodhomme, Chloé (Springer Link, 2020)
      Article
      Open Access
      The intimate link between soil moisture and precipitation makes it a “chicken-and-egg situation” that challenges climate studies of the continental water cycle. This association is particularly acute over the Mediterranean, ...
    • Seasonal prediction of European summer heatwaves 

      Prodhomme, Chloé; Materia, Stefano; Ardilouze, Constantin; White, Rachel H.; Batté, Lauriane; Guemas, Virginie; Fragkoulidis, Georgios; García Serrano, Javier (Springer, 2021)
      Article
      Open Access
      Under the influence of global warming, heatwaves are becoming a major threat in many parts of the world, affecting human health and mortality, food security, forest fires, biodiversity, energy consumption, as well as the ...
    • Summer drought predictability over Europe: empirical versus dynamical forecasts 

      Turco, Marco; Ceglar, Andrej; Prodhomme, Chloé; Soret, Albert; Toreti, Andrea; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco (IOP Publishing, 2017-07-27)
      Article
      Open Access
      Seasonal climate forecasts could be an important planning tool for farmers, government and insurance companies that can lead to better and timely management of seasonal climate risks. However, climate seasonal forecasts ...
    • Summer temperature response to extreme soil water conditions in the Mediterranean transitional climate regime 

      Materia, Stefano; Ardilouze, Constantin; Prodhomme, Chloé; Donat, Markus; Benassi, Marianna; Doblas-Reyes, Francisco; Peano, Daniele; Caron, Louis-Philippe; Ruggieri, Paolo; Gualdi, Silvio (Springer, 2021)
      Article
      Open Access
      Land surface and atmosphere are interlocked by the hydrological and energy cycles and the effects of soil water-air coupling can modulate near-surface temperatures. In this work, three paired experiments were designed to ...
