Frame Controls: | This product is experimental and should be applied as such. The algorithm will be modified from time to time, so anticipate changes. Predictors are selected from the first 40 time extended PCs of 30 to 87.5N geopotential height anomalies. The constructed analog method is appled to reconstruct the data fields from the PCs, but the neural network predicts the PCs. Red and blue contours represent positive and negative 850 hPa T anomalies, with a 1 degree interval. Magenta and cyan contours represent the constructed analog of the absolute value of the geopotential height minus the absolute value of the constructed analog of the geopotential height. PCs are retained as predictors only when the skill of the network at a given lead time exceeds 0.3 relative to climatology. Skill is assessed by -(MSEforecast-MSEclim)/MSEclim. Since the number of excluded PCs increases with lead time, the fraction of the variance explained by the retained PCs must decline. The PCs are calculated using data centered on the period 45 days before to 45 days after the present day of year, and the skill chart is updated nightly on the new PCs. This version uses the geopotential height PCs to predict 850 Temperature Anomalies. |
