Understanding the role of sea surface temperature-forcing for variability in global temperature and precipitation extremes

The oceans are a well-known source of natural variability in the climate system, although their ability to account for inter-annual variations of temperature and precipitation extremes over land remains unclear. In this study, the role of sea-surface temperature (SST)-forcing is investigated for var...
