·
Exploit the 15 day operational NCEP ensembles
· Increase the length of the ensembles to 30 days
· Use multi-model ensembles
·
Exploit the DERF predictability due to initial
conditions,
SST and soil moisture in real
time
· Do routine SST and soil moisture anomaly experiments
in
real time
·
Improve the short-term coupled forecasts by
minimizing
growing errors in
the initial conditions
· (Improve the models!)
