ES23020Global ocean surface and subsurface temperature forecast skill over subseasonal to seasonal timescales
The ability of climate models to forecast ocean temperature over weeks to months to seasons underpins various marine applications including fisheries and reef management. Although surface temperatures are often the focus of climate modelling studies, the subsurface can be equally, if not more important, for fisheries and aquaculture stakeholders. Here we take a look at how well the ACCESS-S2 model forecasts ocean temperatures from the surface down to 300 m and show it can be useful for predicting the likelihood of marine heatwaves.
