We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in recent years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of climate predictions and projections. As the impacts of climate change are already being experienced, there will be increasing socioeconomic need for timely, relevant, and reliable predictions and projections across all aspects of the Earth system.
Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of climate. This editorial initiative, led by Prof Mat Collins, Specialty Chief Editor of the Predictions and Projections section, together with Dr Lincoln Alves, Gaby Langendijk and Dr John Krasting is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of predictions and projections.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from the research community that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. We welcome submissions in areas such as model development (physical and biogeochemical), seasonal to decadal prediction systems, detection and attribution of climate change, future climate projections and impacts of climate variability and change. We also welcome submissions reflecting on model intercomparison projects (MIPS).
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the climate field, and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
