Part 1. Long-Lead Seasonal Forecasts
![Page 7: An Inside Look at CPC’s Medium and Long- Range Forecasts Ed O’Lenic NOAA-NWS-Climate Prediction Center Camp Springs, Maryland ed.olenic@noaa.gov 301-763-8000,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649da05503460f94a8c145/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Forecast Maps and Bulletins
•Each month, on the Thursday between the 15th 21st, CPC issues a set of 13 seasonal outlooks.
•There are two maps for each of the 13 leads, one for temperature and one for precipitation for a total of 26 maps.
•Each outlook covers a 3-month “season”, and each forecast overlaps the next and prior season by 2 months.
•Bulletins include: the prognostic discussion for the seasonal outlook over North America, and, for Hawaii.
•The monthly outlook is issued at the same time as the seasonal outlook. It consists of a temperature and precipitation outlook for a single lead, 0.5 months, and the monthly bulletin.
•All maps are sent to AWIPS, Family of Services and internet.

Statistical Prediction Tools
• Multiple Linear Regression:
- Predicts a single variable from historical and recent observations of two or more predictors.
• Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA):
– Uses recent and historical observations of Northern Hemisphere circulation (Z), global sea surface temperature (SST), US surface T (Tus) to create a set of 5 or 6 EOFs of predictors and predictands.
– Looks at cross-correlations between time series of predictors and predictands.
– Predicts temporal and spatial patterns from patterns.

Statistical Prediction Tools
• Constructed Analogs (CA)– Uses recent observations (base) of a single
variable and historical observations, to construct a weighted mean of all prior years which best explains the base data. Assumes the evolution to subsequent seasons is also best explained by the weights used to construct the analog to the base.
• Optimal Climate Normals (OCN)– Uses the difference between the most recent 10
(15) years of temperature (precipitation) observations and the 30-year climatology (i.e., the trend) for a given season as the prediction for future occurrences of that season.

Detailed operations concept for NCEP’s ocean-atmosphere model
An ensemble of 16 ocean SST forecasts are created using a coupled
GCM. The average of these is used as the lower boundary for…
An AGCM, along with 20 different sets of initial conditions, to create
a set of 20 ensemble atmosphere forecasts out to 9 months. A 20-year
AMIP run of the AGCM is made each month for use as the climatology
to create anomalies/remove model bias.
In collaboration with partners (CDC, IRI), forecasters use the NCEP
model tools, together with other model tools to subjectively create
outlook maps of the probability of monthly and seasonal mean
temperature and total precipitation category.

Forecast Maps and BulletinsEach day,between 3 and 4 PM Eastern Time, CPC issues a set of 6-10 day and week 2 outlooks. These are formulated by a forecaster (Monday through Friday) and are automated on weekends. There are two 500 mb height maps, two surface maps and a single bulletin.

Teleconnections (TC)Definition: Composite of
those maps, for a calendar month, with largest + (top 10%) or – (bottom 10%) 500 hPa height at a specified space point from 1950-1999 (~150 maps).
Forecaster computes TC on major anomaly centers (base points) of 500 hPa forecast maps.
Strong TC ~ large correlation values at the distant centers ~ frequent/persistent pattern
Weak TC ~ the pattern is probably transient and not as likely to be well predicted by the model as would a persistent pattern.

The Forecast Forecast
• 1-3 years: Week 2 forecasts for the Pacific Region & Caribbean based on MJO, ENSO, Monsoon, improved dynamical & statistical models.
• 3-5 years: Week 3, 4 forecast based on NAM/AO relationships, MJO, ENSO, improved statistical & dynamical models.
• 5-10 years: Improved seasonal, monthly, week 2, 3-4 forecasts based on improved dynamical & statistical model prediction of NAM/AO, diurnal cycle of convection, MJO, ENSO, Monsoon, decadal oscillations, ocean-atmosphere coupling, MM ensembles, more & better observations, …
