NOAA CTB - COLA Joint Seminar Series

"CFS as a Prediction System and Research Tool"

                                                   Foreword                                  [Full Text]

" In August 2004 the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) implemented a new seasonal prediction system, called the Climate Forecast System (CFS) that marked a turning point in several ways. ...... As a result, a large group of scientists, both at NCEP and at COLA, began analyzing and experimenting with the CFS as a prediction system and research tool.  In the course of discussions in early 2007 between COLA and NCEP, it became clear that an exchange of research results and findings would be highly beneficial to both groups and perfectly consistent with the goals of the CTB, so a joint CTB-COLA seminar series was established in Fall 2007.  During 2007-2008 period, monthly seminars were held at both NCEP (by COLA scientists) and COLA (by NCEP scientists).  The seminar series generated a great deal of interest at both centers and resulted in a rich and valuable exchange of information and insights about seasonal prediction in general and the CFS in particular. ......"
