Author:Landman, WA; DeWitt, DG; Lee, D-EDate:Sep 2011The evolution of global sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies over several months ahead is often relatively predictable. Subsequently employing predicted SST in atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) can provide means of generating ...Read more
Author:Landman, WA; Dewitt, D; Lee, D-E; Beraki, Asmerom F; Lotter, DDate:Apr 2012Forecast performance by coupled ocean–atmosphere or one-tiered models predicting seasonal rainfall totals over South Africa is compared with forecasts produced by computationally less demanding two-tiered systems where prescribed sea surface ...Read more
Author:Landman, WA; DeWitt, D; Lee, D-E; Beraki, Asmerom F; Lotter, DDate:Dec 2010Evidence is presented that coupled ocean-atmosphere models can already outscore computationally less expensive atmospheric models. However, if the atmospheric models are forced with highly skillful SST predictions, they may still be a very ...Read more
