Climate Drivers
Seasonal forecasts provide a long-range outlook of changes in the Earth system over periods of a few weeks or months, as a result of predictable changes in some of the slow-varying components of the system -Copernicus
Climate Anomalies
By analysing the long term historical records we can determine what the climate was like when we had similar conditions in the past.
Hindcast Skill
For each climate driver the skill is calculated by comparing the modelled hindcasts with the observed values for the same region and season using the gridded climate data. For the current set of models the Skill is calculated using the hindcast values from 1993-2016.
