While there has been warm water building up in the pacific, and this warm water is highly correlated to El Nino, and most of the models suggest there will be an El nino (because of these observations rather than any form of «forecast skill»), that does not mean 2014 will be an El nino.

The tropical intraseasonal variability (ISV) forecast skill is found to be improved when a coupled model is used.

As far as skill of these sorts of models go, I've been systematizing the approach of using data only up to year Y (e.g. 1915, 1935, etc.) to determine the parameters of a model and measuring how well it forecasts the future (which of course we know today).

Unlike the ENSO and IOD SST forecasts, the seasonal outlooks are based on the last three weeks of forecasts, i.e. five separate model runs combining to make a 165 - member ensemble, as this was shown to give higher skill.

Due to such poor forecasting skills, Congress appropriated funds so the NWS could adopt a more accurate weather model.

Careful calibration and judicious combination of ensembles of forecasts from different models into a larger ensemble can give higher skill than that from any single model.

MJO simulation diagnostics (developed by the working group) are available and hold promise in guiding future model testing and improvement as well as increased sub-seasonal forecast skill.

Skill Scores Next in today's post, I will quantify the visual impression that «GCM - Q» outperformed HadGEM2 by using a skill score statistic that is commonplace in the evaluation of forecasts, estimating the «skill» of a model from the sum of squares of the residuals from the proposed model as opposed to a base case, as expressed below where obs is a vector of observations and «model» and «base» are vectors of estimSkill Scores Next in today's post, I will quantify the visual impression that «GCM - Q» outperformed HadGEM2 by using a skill score statistic that is commonplace in the evaluation of forecasts, estimating the «skill» of a model from the sum of squares of the residuals from the proposed model as opposed to a base case, as expressed below where obs is a vector of observations and «model» and «base» are vectors of estimskill score statistic that is commonplace in the evaluation of forecasts, estimating the «skill» of a model from the sum of squares of the residuals from the proposed model as opposed to a base case, as expressed below where obs is a vector of observations and «model» and «base» are vectors of estimskill» of a model from the sum of squares of the residuals from the proposed model as opposed to a base case, as expressed below where obs is a vector of observations and «model» and «base» are vectors of estimates.

I don't consider it very strong evidence of a models efficacy, or their forecasting skill.

This application of the models is made despite their inability to show multi-decadal regional and mesoscale skill in forecasting changes in climate statistics when run in a hindcast mode (e.g., see Pielke 2013, and also Section 13.5).

Stochastic parametrisations have significantly improved the skill of weather forecasting models, and are now used in operational forecasting centres worldwide.

Would any model simulation (e.g. also a weather forecast) have skill according to this definition?

«A previously developed simple statistical tool — the El Niño — Southern Oscillation Climatology and Persistence (ENSO — CLIPER) model — is utilized as a baseline for determination of skill in forecasting this event.»

One can take an historic event, reproduce this in a state - of - the - art weather forecasting model (which is shown to have skill), but alter the boundary conditions related to the sea level.

The definition most common in meteorology (correct me if I'm wrong) is that skill is the ability of a model to simulate the observations better than a naïve forecast (e.g. of «no change»).

Most of these entailed hindcasting, but Hansen's 1988 model projections have exhibited some skill in a forecasting mode, despite his use of inputs now known to overestimate the most likely value of climate sensitivity.

There are a lot of ideas from meteorological forecast skill analysis + which have yet to be brought in to sea ice model skill analysis

Of interest is that the PIOMAS (Pan-Arctic Ice - Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System) model continues to indicate that the ice is very thin, leading Lindsay and Zhang to predict a new record low for September 2010 with an R2 value of 0.84, suggesting a high degree of skill in the forecast.

The model's systematic bias, forecast RMS errors, and anomaly correlation skill are estimated based on its historical forecasts for 1982 - 2011.

Whether their skills at hindcasting (most model efforts) or forecasting (Hansen) are «good» or «bad» is a matter of judgment, but it's not controversial that they should be improved.

o they do have some verbiage about forecasting, for example they ran their models with 1960 and 1980 data and show they have some skill.

Recent improvements in forecast skill of the climate system by dynamical climate models could lead to improvements in seasonal streamflow predictions.

This study evaluates the forecast skill of the fourth version of the Canadian coupled ocean — atmosphere general circulation model (CanCM4) and its model output statistics (MOS) to forecast the seasonal rainfall in Malaysia, particularly during early (October — November — December) and late (January — February — March) winter monsoon periods.

This new prediction system shows the multi-year predictive skills of drought and wildfire conditions beyond the typical timescale of seasonal climate forecast models.

Other factors that will affect the forecast skill of a realistically initialized CESM include ensemble size, internal model biases, initialization method, and the low resolution adopted here.

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.:

I'm not sure I understand — the calculation of skill compares two models based on RMSE of their forecasts.

Putting aside the fact that climate models are filled with parameter estimation, Gavin and Hargreaves were saying that the temperature slope forecasts from Hansen were of greater skill than that possible from a naïve model.

In Hargreaves the skill test for Hansen is only reported against the forecast based on latest flat line observation, not for any other models.

First, in dealing with skill you are comparing the forecast from the model in question with that of a naive model, which almost ipso facto will be a statistical model.
