  1. Using the ScaLINg Macroweather Model (SLIMM) to exploiting the atmosphere’s elephantine memory for long- term forecast Stochastic Seasonal to Interannual Prediction System Lenin Del Rio Amador and Shaun Lovejoy

  2. Beyond the deterministic limit: GCM’s Stochastic scales <≈ 10 days prediction = initial value problem (weather prediction) “Brute force” “butterfly effect” Weather systems generated by GCMs = random weather noise … but not fully realistic Averages: slow convergence to High level scaling laws Model generate realistic climate (empirically based) Our climate statistics (noise) Potential advantages of stochastic forecasting: a) More realistic weather “noise” ” (statistics: based on empirical data, not constrained by model). b) Ability to use empirical data to force convergence to the real climate

  3. Preprocessing of the data: Ref: (NCEP/NCAR) Example for the grid point (-72.5, 47.5), Montreal Raw Data Remove Trend Anomalies Remove Annual Cycle
