Project Type: Research

DESCRIPTION: The project will collaboratively work to produce a multimodel ensemble prediction system to improve operational forecast skill an intraseasonal to interannual time scales and provide real-time forecast and research data.

OUTCOMES: So far the team has: performed deterministic and probabilistic skill verification of NMME seasonal forecasts. It turns out that the NMME is more accurate than other models.
