Abstract
• Neural networks can learn predictable signals of internal sea surface temperature variability at 1-3, 1-5, and 3-7 year lead times • Neural networks trained on climate model output can skillfully predict sea surface temperature variability in reconstructed observations • Neural network skill in predicting observed sea surface temperature variability depends on the climate model used for training06 Mar 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 15 Mar 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
