Contribution of land surface initialization to subseasonal forecast skill: First results from a multi-model experiment
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
The second phase of the Global Land-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE-2) is aimed at quantifying, with a suite of long-range forecast systems, the degree to which realistic land surface initialization contributes to the skill of subseasonal precipitation and air temperature forecasts.
Description
Results, which focus here on North America, show significant contributions to temperature prediction skill out to two months across large portions of the continent.
For precipitation forecasts, contributions to skill are much weaker but are still significant out to 45 days in some locations. Skill levels increase markedly when calculations are conditioned on the magnitude of the initial soil moisture anomaly.
