This Science Brief covers the findings of Cohen et al. in their article in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The authors suggest in the paper that the large-scale winter cooling trends in eastern North America and northern Eurasia could be due to increased high-latitude moisture and snow cover and probably cannot be attributed to internal variability alone.

This Science Brief covers a recent paper in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society by Barnston and colleagues. In this paper, they show that physics-based models are now better than statistical models at El Niño prediction. The result is important for seasonal weather prediction in BC because El Niño has a strong effect on weather in our region.
