The hammam effect or how a warm ocean enhances large scale atmospheric predictability
International audience The atmosphere's chaotic nature limits its short-term predictability. Furthermore, there is little knowledge on how the difficulty of forecasting weather may be affected by anthro-pogenic climate change. Here, we address this question by employing metrics issued from dyna...

International audience The atmosphere's chaotic nature limits its short-term predictability.
