However, the annual mean
predictions for the global temperature that they issue every year does have some
skill — being based mainly on the state of
ENSO at the start of the year.
For streamflow
prediction, the ESP approach has very limited or no correlation
skill beyond the months influenced by initial hydrologic conditions, while the CM - HPS has moderately better correlation
skill, attributable to the enhanced temperature
prediction skill that results from CanSIPS's ability to predict El Niño — Southern Oscillation (
ENSO) and its teleconnections.
In addition to the fact that «for the
predictions through the spring season in the growth phase of El Niño events, the
prediction errors induced by both initial errors and model errors tend to have a prominent season - dependent evolution and yield a prominent spring predictability barrier (SPB)» Duan et al., 2012, it is important to note that even after the SPB passes, our
ENSO forecasting
skills are abysmal, i.e.:
