Decadal climate predictions correctly forecast the direction of Northern Hemisphere Wind Stilling but underestimate its magnitude

Near-surface (10 m) wind speed over land decreased on average over the Northern Hemisphere between 1980 and 2010, a phenomenon that has become known as global stilling. We show that the multi-model decadal predictions are able to capture the aforementioned decrease in wind speed from one to ten years ahead. However, th...
