AER Science and Dr Judah Cohen's seasonal forecasting work is highlighted in this article discussing the issue of a forecasted sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event and increasingly likely polar-vortex disruption for the Northern Hemisphere. This event may unleash a significant late-winter cold-snap, severe weather, and winter precipitation events across the US.
