Summary 26 September 2012 Core Theme 4: Predictability of the THC Lead: W. Hazeleger (KNMI) Participants: ECMWF, UREAD, GEOMAR, MET-O, MPG, KNMI

Deliverable report D28. Impact of observing system on the predcitability of the MOC : UKMO (Nick Dunstone) 1990: 2008: Temperature Salinity

Deliverable report D 41: Implication of idealized observing system experiments for needs of observing system. Lessons learned from optimal perturbations of ocean circulation UKMO (Nick Dunstone with input Ed Hawkins) MPI-M results need to be checked.

Deliverable report D39: Relative impact of initial condition and forcing. Quantifying this impact. ECMWF (Susanna Corti)

Deliverable report D40: Assessment of THC predictions up to 2030 predictions GEOMAR (Mojib Latif) See presentation on uncertainties of future predictions by T. Martin and input from MPI, UKMO on 30-yr initialized predictions

Final report Deadline 10 Dec. All our publications 6 pager, executive summary style - Multi model predictions (2 pages Wilco) - Prediction strategies (1 page Ed) - Impact initalization/forcing + BSS noinit/init (1 page Susanna) - Observing system (2 pages Doug) 1 page future directions (Wilco)

Future directions Model bias remains a major issue. Clearly higher resolution in ocean and atmosphere needed Further studies prediction strategies needed (initialization, perturbation). THOR worked with rather ad-hoc strategies. More in depth analysis of the hindcasts and predictions needed Dominant role of initial conditions has been quantified for essential ocean and climate variables and show need for good ocean analyses Full depth ARGO should be extended, ocean transports and flux measurements are needed for verification Probabilistic verification needed (if data allows so). Reliability may be more important than skill.
