Zusammenfassung |
A novel application of a technique developed from chaos theory
is used in describing seasonal to interannual climate predictability over the Northern
Hemisphere (NH). The technique is based on an empirical forecast scheme - local
approximation in a reconstructed phase space - for time-series data. Data are monthly 500 hPa heights on a latitude-longitude grid covering the NH from 20° N to the equator.
Predictability is estimated based on the linear correlation between actual and predicted
heights averaged over a forecast range of one- to twelve.month lead. The method is capable
of extracting the major climate signals on this time scale including ENSO and the North
Atlantic Oscillation. |
