Atmospheric Predictability in the Presence of Tropical Forcing

Abstract

dc:description

We investigate the impact of tropical forcing on the predictability of the atmosphere in a two-layer spectral model. The focus is on the improvement of extended range forecasts in the extratropics from knowledge of the tropical forcing. The model-twin approach is used to perform forecast experiments including and excluding midlatitude orography.
