The Role of Ocean Eddy Resolving Models in Seasonal to Decadal Prediction Ocean Eddy Resolving Coupled Predictability CESM Atmosphere: 0.5x0.5 Ocean: 0.1x0.1 [HRC] vs. 1x1 [LRC] New Seasonal-to-Decadal Variability Means,


  1. The Role of Ocean Eddy Resolving Models in Seasonal to Decadal Prediction

  2. Ocean Eddy Resolving Coupled Predictability • CESM – Atmosphere: 0.5x0.5 – Ocean: 0.1x0.1 [HRC] vs. 1x1 [LRC] • “New” Seasonal-to-Decadal Variability – Means, Fronts vs. Eddies (or Both)? • Does the Atmosphere Interact with the Individual Ocean Eddies? • Forecast Errors with LRC – Local Air-Sea Feedbacks
