Sea surface temperature biases shift the North Pacific jet stream southward, study finds
Climate models are numerical models used to project future climate change. They simulate the climate from the present into the future by calculating changes in the atmosphere, ocean and other components of the climate system. However, simulations of the present-day climate do not perfectly reproduce observations and contain various biases. The model characteristics that cause these biases can also affect simulations of the future climate. Understanding the causes and impacts of present-day climate biases is therefore important for improving the reliability of future climate projections.

Both Asia Cup Trophies Will Land Up At BCCI Headquarters One Day, Says Devajit Saikia
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia on Friday expressed firm confidence that both the men's and women's Asia Cup trophies will eventually be housed at the board's headquarters here. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian women's team declined to accept their winner's medals and the trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as the PCB chairman and Pakistan's interior minister, after winning the Asia Cup final in Dubai last week. It mirrors a similar stance taken by the Indian men's team following their Asia Cup triumph last year. We congratulated our women's team for their superb victory in Dubai last week. They have very nicely won the first match against Japan and we hope that they will win the gold medal in the Asian Games on 22nd of this month. Asia Cup trophies we hope it will come one day. I will not give you a timeline, but I can assure you that both the trophies will come up and land up in this BCCI head office at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Saikia told reporters at the end of the 95th BCCI AGM held at its headquarters on Friday. The player auction for the upcoming IPL season will take place in the second week of December, which will also be the final mini-auction of the current 2023-27 rights cycle. To commemorate 20 years of the league, the BCCI is planning grand celebrations for the upcoming edition. We have also discussed about engaging and activating our state associations to give support to physically-challenged cricketers. The BCCI will complete 100 years in December 2027, so we will do centenary celebrations from December 2027 for one year, added Saikia. Saikia further clarified that former Assam Ranji Trophy cricketer Subhadeep Ghosh has been brought in as the Indian men's cricket team fielding coach on a short-term assignment following the exit of T Dilip. Ghosh, who previously worked with the senior women's side between 2021 and 2023 and serves as a fielding coach at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, assumed the role ahead of India's two-Test tour of Sri Lanka in August.

BCCI To Take Call On Chief Selector Agarkar's Future Within 15 Days, Says Devajit Saikia
Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will take a decision on senior men's chief selector Ajit Agarkar's future within the next 15 days, said Secretary Devajit Saikia after the 95th Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place here on Friday. Agarkar, who assumed the chief selector's role in July 2023, has been a part of a successful period for the national side. Under his term as chief selector, India reached the 2023 ODI World Cup final, won the 2024 T20 World Cup, the 2025 Champions Trophy, and retained the T20 World Cup title at home earlier this year. His term ends on October 4, and the BCCI will have to make a decision as India enters the final leg of preparations for the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup. Today, there has been no discussion about any individual. We still have 15 days to go. We will take a decision and in appropriate time, we will let you know, Saikia told reporters. In a major administrative decision, the BCCI has approved a substantial fee revision for domestic umpires and match referees, marking the first compensation enhancement since the 2017/18 season. Since 2017-18, there was no revision of the fees of the umpires. So we have done a restructuring of their categories. Earlier there were four categories, A+, A, B and C. Now we have restructured it as A, B, C and D. All their fees per day has been enhanced substantially, said Saikia. The BCCI has also introduced a merit-based promotion and demotion mechanism to foster accountability among match officials. Those who will be doing good, 10 umpires will be upgraded to the next level. Those umpires who are at the upper level, if they are not performing up to that level or they are a satisfactory level, they will be downgraded. 10 umpires will go up, 10 umpires will go down, he added. Saikia also quashed rumours over a possible change of venue for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Ranchi, scheduled to be held from February 19 to 23, 2027. There are six months left. We will take a call after a few days. We havent received any such requests as of now about the change of venue for the Ranchi Test. He also informed the new junior mens selection committee would soon be formed after the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) interviews candidates for the positions. We have received a large number of applicants for the junior selection committee, which we will give to our cricket committee, which will be competent to select the selectors. We will be trying to complete the process in the next 10-15 days. On the subject of aligning with the proposed Central Sports Act, Saikia clarified that the BCCI will await official notification from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports before making any structural amendments. Regarding the Sports Act, our stand is very clear. There are a lot of things which are yet to be done from the concerned authority. Once those exercises are completed, and once BCCI comes under the Sports Act, a particular notification has to be issued to make it a designated sport. On the subject of aligning with the proposed Central Sports Act, Saikia clarified that the BCCI will await official notification from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports before making any structural amendments. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Addressing the ongoing proceedings before the Supreme Court regarding the matter, Saikia said, So, as of today, there is nothing like that, which was mentioned in the Supreme Court that day. We will give the clarification on 27th of October, when the matter will be listed next time. Article Source: IANS
