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.
