Climate Forecasting Unit Climate system predictability  Memory on interannual to centennial timescales in the ocean  Memory on seasonal to interannual timescales in the sea ice and land surface  External radiative forcings (solar activity, greenhouse gases, aerosols)

Climate Forecasting Unit Model

Climate Forecasting Unit Objectives 1. Initialize each model component (atmosphere, ocean, sea ice) with the best possible estimate of the observed climate state 2. Ensure an optimal consistency between the initial states of all the model components 3. Account for the initial state uncertainty through the generation of ensembles

Climate Forecasting Unit Ocean: NEMOVAR-ORAS4 5-member ORCA1L42 ocean reanalysis developed by the ECMWF Atmosphere: ERA40 (before 1989) and ERAInt (after 1989) atmospheric reanalysis developed by the ECMWF; use of singular vectors to generate initial perturbations Sea ice: in-house 5-member LIM2 ORCA1 reconstructions Initialization of EC-Earth2.3 – CMIP5

Climate Forecasting Unit In-house sea ice reconstructions (1/5)  NEMO3.2 ocean model + LIM2 sea ice model  Forcings : DFS4.3 or ERA-interim  Nudging : T and S toward ORAS4, timescales = 360 days below 800m, and 10 days above except in the mixed layer, except at the equator (1°S-1°N), SST & SSS restoring (- 40W/m2, -150 mm/day/psu)  Wind perturbations + 5-member ORAS > 5 members for sea ice reconstruction 5 member sea ice reconstruction for 1958-present consistent with ocean and atmosphere states used for initialization Guemas et al (2014) Climate Dynamics

Climate Forecasting Unit The climate prediction drift issue Observed world Biased model world Retrospective prediction ( hindcast ) affected by a strong drift, need for a-posteriori bias correction Time Predicted Variable (ex. Temperature) BIAS

Climate Forecasting Unit The climate prediction drift issue  Issue : Distinction between climate drift and climate signal  Hypothesis : If the model climate is stable (no drift), the simulated variability is independent of the model mean state within the range of current model biases and closer to the observed variability than when mixed with the drift  Testing the hypothesis : Allowing the climate model biases but constraining the phase of the simulated variability toward the contemporaneous observed one at the initialization time : Anomaly Initialization (AI)
