There are some source of predictability that are still not fully resolved (including those dealing with improving climate models, but also related to unexplored initial conditions or driving conditions), and a great benefit of these predictability studies is that they mimic the practice of weather prediction by confronting models with observations at the relevant time and spatial scales, leading to the necessary inspiration for this model improvement.

Tracking sea surface temperature over a long period is arguably the most reliable way researchers know of measuring the precise rate at which global temperatures are increasing and improves the accuracy of our climate change models and weather forecasts.
