“…These reversals were linked to extreme cold events occurring either early or late in the winter season, resulting in SAT differences between early and late winters of 6.5°C or more (Geng et al., 2017; Yang & Fan, 2022). Such extreme weather events, including cold waves, heavy rain, snow, and ice, during the subseasonal SAT reversals, can have severe impacts on human health, and national economies, and may also end crop dormancy early or freeze crops thereby causing significant losses to agriculture (Añel et al., 2017; Hochman et al., 2022; López‐Bueno et al., 2021). Despite the importance of accurate predictions of winter mean SAT and subseasonal SAT reversals, achieving precise forecasts remains a significant challenge (Cui et al., 2021; Li et al., 2021).…”
