  • Scientists Develop Observation-Informed Deep Learning to Cut ENSO Projection Uncertainty
    The research team from IOCAS pointed out that deep learning can reduce ENSO projection uncertainty and enable more reliable future climate projections.El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest interannual variability signal in Earth's climate system. The shifts between its warm and cold phases profoundly impact global extreme weather, ecosystems, and economic development. However, current ...

  • Study Reveals 30-million-year History of East Asian Summer Monsoon Evolution
    The research team from IOCAS have quantitatively reconstructed the evolutionary history of EASM precipitation over the past 30 million years based on the sediments from IODP Site U1501 in the northern South China Sea.The existence of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) is of profound significance for the regional climate and ecosystem. The EASM serves as a crucial driver of seasonal precipitation patterns, sustaining agricultural productivity and water resources in...
