Cover Story: The changes in the cut-off low (COL) activity are found to be driven by SST variations in the tropical Pacific. The enhanced COL activity is observed with a weakened jet stream, while COLs are suppressed with strengthened westerlies. The present-day simulations of AMIP-CMIP6 models reproduce realistic features of the ENSO–COL teleconnection, but biases exist in coupled models due to their inability to predict the mean zonal flow, which may be partly due to systematic biases in the predicted SST. The underestimation of warm SST anomalies over the eastern Pacific is a common problem in CMIP3 and CMIP5 models and remains a major uncertainty in CMIP6. The study suggests the potential for the seasonal prediction of COLs and the benefits that would result from using accurate initialization and consistent model coupling. View this paper
