Scaife and his team have made recent advances in long range weather forecasting and have uncovered the paradox that current climate models are better at predicting the real world than they are at predicting themselves. Scaife's recent research demonstrates a link between year to year climate predictions, subtle changes in the rotation rate of the Earth and hence the length of day. 1535: 1495: 1507: 1547: 425:
