Pre-Run-Post processes Spin-up - 1month spin-up for AGCM with ocean restored to the observed SST of the IC month - restart files for AGCM, GML, and SOM are generated Forecast Starting from each IC, a runscript let echam4.5 run for 8 months for forecast, echam4 .5: designed to run continuously for 1 month Data storing and Verification Convert the output into GRADS and netcdf formats Calculate Anomaly Correlation Coefficients and Root-Mean-Squared Errors
