Communicating Uncertainty in Seasonal and Interannual Climate Forecasts in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2015
Across Europe, organizations in different sectors are sensitive to climate variability and change, at a range of temporal scales from the seasonal to the interannual to the multi-decadal. Climate forecast providers face the challenge of communicating the uncertainty inherent in these forecasts to these decision-makers in a way that is transparent ...

Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Medium-Term Electricity Demand Forecasting

Applied Energy, 2015
Abstract Air temperature is an effective predictor for electricity demand, especially during hot periods where the need of electric air conditioning can be high. This paper presents for the first time an assessment of the use of seasonal climate forecasts of temperature for medium-term electricity demand prediction. The retrospective seasonal climate

On the Verification of Seasonal Climate Forecasts

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1981
Abstract Readily available forecasts of winter season temperature anomalies for the continental United States are analyzed and compared to the observed anomalies for each of the past five winter seasons. Forcast skill is evaluated by different verification methodologies, and it is shown that a judgment of skill can be dependent on the particular ...

On the Prospects for Seasonal Climate Forecasting

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1975
Prediction of seasonal mean atmospheric conditions a year ahead is anticipated as the next major development in meteorological forecasting services that needs to be considered as a realistic possibility. This note summarizes in broad fashion the approaches and difficulties to be dealt with in seeking such a goal.

Using Seasonal Climate Forecasts in Forecasting the Australian Wheat Crop

2000
Recent research has pointed to the potential to forecast the Australian wheat crop using seasonal climate forecasts. Over the last decade seasonal climate outlooks have been issued for the wheat-growing season and regional crop yield modelling has progressed to an operational stage.

Global Climatic Models and Their Potential for Seasonal Climatic Forecasting

2000
Currently there are major initiatives in a number of research institutions to develop operational long-lead climatic prediction schemes. These schemes are all based on the intrinsic predictability of El Nino/Southern Oscillation events occurring in the low latitude Pacific Ocean.

Seasonal climate predictability and forecasting: status and prospects

WIREs Climate Change, 2013
Abstract Seasonal climate forecasts occupy an intermediate zone between weather forecasting and climate projections. They share with the numerical weather prediction the difficulty of initializing the simulations with a realistic state of the atmosphere and the need to periodically verify different aspects of ...
