Statistical models that predict RVF risk using ocean-based climate variables and subsequent rain-related surface water, remotely sensed by vegetation greenness, have been proposed (2).

Research reported earlier this year hinted that events in the stratosphere might directly affect the oceans, but those findings were based on a single climate model and a computer simulation that modeled the stratosphere for a relatively short 260 years.
Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate Dynamics: An Introductory Text.
General fields of research include ocean and atmosphere circulation, ocean-atmosphere interactions, the role of ocean in climate, climate variability and change, paleoclimate.
Primary threats include: ocean acidification, climate change, ocean pollution, and unsustainable fishing practices.
Many newly developed climate, weather and ocean global models are based on quasi-uniform spherical polygonal grids, aiming for high resolution and better scalability.
Seasonal climate forecasts, on the other hand, are largely based on ocean conditions, and predict only averages over monthly or longer periods, rather than actual weather states.
We then projected global ranges of the crayfish under climate change based on a consensus-forecast approach of two atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) with both A2a and B2a emission scenarios for potential future (2050) climates.
