This website is a tool for the discusion within U.S. CLIVAR Working Group on Decadal Predictability of verification metrics towards the development of a verification framework for decadal hindcasts. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Lisa Goddard.
The different sections present results from the verification assessment of a few of the decadal hindcast experiments, mainly of CMIP5. For further details of the models and the forecast approach taken by each of the centers, please visit the CMIP5 data page: http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/.
The verification metrics are chosen to answer specific questions regarding the quality of the forecast information. For example, they can identify where errors or biases exist in the forecasts to guide more effective use of them. The proposed questions address the accuracy in the forecast information and the representativeness of the forecast ensembles to indicate forecast uncertainty. Specifically, these questions are:
