A team of scientists, led by Professor Adam Scaife from the University of Exeter, has used state-of-the-art mathematical modelling to show how fluctuations in the length of the day can be predicted more than a year in advance – significantly longer than currently possible.
The team suggest this long-range forecasting also originates from a new atmospheric source for long-range predictability of weather and climate changes.
Crucially, the research shows a definitive link between geodesy – or accurately measuring and understanding the shape, size, orientation and gravity on Earth – and climate prediction.
