Belmont Forum Climate Services Collaborative Research Action “InterDec”: the Potential of Seasonal-to-decadal-scale Inter-regional Linkages to Advance Climate Predictions

The project aims to deepen the understanding of mechanisms for seasonal-to-decadal-scale climate variability on a regional scale and improve its prediction capability, with focus on atmospheric and oceanic teleconnections between distant regions that could potentially affect regional weather extremely.
