Spatial patterns in SST forecast skill.

open access: yes, 2023
Colors indicate anomaly correlation coefficient for (top) January and (bottom) July initialized forecast at two lead times. Black stippling indicates regions with forecast skill that is not significantly greater than zero at the 95% confidence level ...

Ensemble forecast of an index of the Madden–Julian Oscillation using a stochastic weather generator based on circulation analogs [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2023
The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) is one of the main sources of sub-seasonal atmospheric predictability in the tropical region. The MJO affects precipitation over highly populated areas, especially around southern India. Therefore, predicting its phase

Exchange Rate Forecasters' Performance: Evidence of Skill? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper sheds new light on a long-standing puzzle in the international finance literature, namely, that exchange rate expectations appear inaccurate and even irrational. We find for a comprehensive dataset that individual forecasters' performance is skill-based. 'Superior' forecasters show consistent ability as their forecasting success holds across

Real-time ENSO forecast skill evaluated over the last two decades, with focus on the onset of ENSO events

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science
This paper provides an updated assessment of the “International Research Institute for Climate and Society’s (IRI) El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Predictions Plume”. We evaluate 253 real-time forecasts of the Niño 3.4 index issued from February 2002

Global observations and forecast skill [PDF]

open access: yesTellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2005
The impact of selected observing systems on forecast skill is explored using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) 40-yr reanalysis (ERA-40) system. Analyses have been produced for a surface-based observing system typical of the period prior to 1945/1950, a terrestrial-based observing system typical of the period 1950–1979 and ...

A Diagram Depicting Forecast Skill and Predictability

open access: yes, 1984
In operational numerical weather prediction systems, both observations and numerical models contribute to the skill of the forecast. A simple diagram representing the relative contributions of observations and models to the current level of forecast ...
