© Crown copyright Met Office Contents The Met Office Decadal Prediction System  Initial assessment Impact of initial conditions on forecasts from 2007 Reanalysis of historical ocean observations  Needed for hindcasts starting from 1960 etc. New hindcasts: preliminary results

© Crown copyright Met Office Decadal Prediction System (DePreSys) Global coupled climate model (HadCM3) Include changes in greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols (SRES intermediate scenario) Repeat previous 11-year solar cycle in forecasts Decay volcanic aerosol from the start of a forecast Include initial condition information to predict natural internal variability  Atmospheric winds, temperature and surface pressure  Ocean temperature and salinity Assimilate as anomalies to avoid model drift
