SubX is now

The Subseasonal Consortium

Providing Climate Information on Actionable Timescales

About Us

We began in 2015 as a NOAA funded research project called The Subseasonal Experiment (SubX). Our intial project provided guidance to NOAA's week 3-4 temperature and precipitation outlooks from a large suite of global weather & climate models

In 2023 the project was re-organized into the Subseasonal Consortium, a group of academic, government, and non-profits with a collective goal of using subseasonal forecast information to improve global access to food, energy, water, and security in a changing climate

Today we provide global forecast information 2-4 weeks ahead
in support of actionable & equitable climate services

Climate Information on Actionable Timescales

Most people are familar with daily weather forecats out to about 1-week

Many people are also familiar with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate projections for decades to centuries

Most decisions need to be made on timescales longer than 1-week and less than decades and centuries.

The Subseasonal Consortium provides climate information on weekly timescales giving users information about near-term climate change impacts.
