The Gap Between Weather and Climate Forecasting: Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction is
an ideal reference for researchers and practitioners across the range
of disciplines involved in the science, modeling, forecasting and
application of this new frontier in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S)
prediction. It provides an accessible, yet rigorous, introduction to the
scientific principles and sources of predictability through the unique
challenges of numerical simulation and forecasting with state-of-science
modeling codes and supercomputers. Additional coverage includes the
prospects for developing applications to trigger early action decisions
to lessen weather catastrophes, minimize costly damage, and optimize
operator decisions.
The book consists of a set of contributed
chapters solicited from experts and leaders in the fields of S2S
predictability science, numerical modeling, operational forecasting, and
developing application sectors. The introduction and conclusion,
written by the co-editors, provides historical perspective, unique
synthesis and prospects, and emerging opportunities in this exciting,
complex and interdisciplinary field.
- Contains contributed chapters from leaders and experts in sub-seasonal to seasonal science, forecasting and applications
- Provides
a one-stop shop for graduate students, academic and applied
researchers, and practitioners in an emerging and interdisciplinary
field
- Offers a synthesis of the state of S2S science through the
use of concrete examples, enabling potential users of S2S forecasts to
quickly grasp the potential for application in their own decision-making
- Includes a broad set of topics, illustrated with graphic examples, that highlight interdisciplinary linkages
