Abstract: | A comparison of estimates of the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and potential predictability index (PPI) is carried out between
experiments with observed and “persistent” anomalies of sea surface temperature (SST). The results obtained point to a possible
significant bias of seasonal forecasting results in some regions when boundary conditions are introduced by a “persistence”
procedure, particularly for summer T
850. Indirect evidence of the influence of extratropical SST anomalies points to their possible role in seasonal forecasts, which
is more substantial in the summer season. Although the conclusions should rather be regarded as preliminary ones because of
a limited size of the sample, it is nonetheless certain that the influence of boundary conditions governing the signal becomes
more significant in summer because of a decrease in the instability of the internal atmospheric dynamics. |
