Recent Developments in NWS Operational Seasonal-to-Inter-Annual Forecasting
Abstract
The appearance on the scene of NCEP's tier-1 coupled ocean-atmosphere model and a simple, but effective, method of consolidating that and other forecast tools, have resulted in major changes in the methods and skill of operational seasonal forecasts. We discuss recent changes in forecast methods, skill improvements, and the possibilities for the future.
