1 Decadal Predic+ons: State of the Science E. Towler EaSM Mee+ng, NCAR Jan 20,
2 Why the emphasis on decadal predic+ons? Societal need for near term/decadal predic+ons of climate for decision support (Vera et al. 2010) Actual +me evolving predic+ons rather than unini+alized projec+ons 1. Research shows poten-al (and some evidence) for predic-on skill on decadal +mescales Less sensi-ve to emissions scenario 1 IPCC defini+on is predic+ons are ini+alized, projec+ons are unini+alized Kirtman et al. 2013, IPCC 2
3 Emissions scenario less important on decadal +mescales CMIP5 decadal predic+ons used the RCP4.5 scenario. (Meehl et al. 2014) Hawkins and SuWon
4 Bridge gap between ENSO forecas+ng and future climate change projec+ons Figure 2 Meehl et al BAMS 4
5 Bridge gap between ENSO forecas+ng and future climate change projec+ons Synop+c weather: 2 weeks (Lorenz 1963) ENSO evolves more slowly: 6-12 months What s the sweet spot? (out years defined as decadal ) Figure 2 Meehl et al BAMS Long-term trends based on GHG forcing 5
6 What are the CMIP5 decadal predic+ons? Two core sets of near-term experiments 10-year hindcasts 30-year hindcasts (out to 2035) Specialized simula+on op+ons 6 Taylor et al BAMS
7 Aim is to understand predic+bility, merits of data assimila+on approaches, and limita+ons of current observa+ons Taylor et al BAMS 7
8 Decadal predic+ons and projec+ons have built-in skill 1 from: 1 Climate change commitment 2 The forcing from increasing greenhouse gases CMIP3 models can already simulate the magnitude of observed decadal surface temperature variability over land (IPCC 2007 WGI Fig 9.8) } Radia+ve/ external forcing 1 Barring volcanic erup+on Meehl et al. 2009; Lee et al
9 Skill from ini-aliza-on versus radia+ve forcing depends on +me horizon, variable, & region Ini-aliza-on contributes most skill in first few years: annual mean temperature a few years to a decade: global mean surface temperature and temperature over the North Atlan+c, regions of the South Pacific and the tropical Indian Ocean Radia-ve forcing contributes most skill Beyond first few years: for annual and mul+-annual averages of temperature and precipita+on Kirtman et al. 2013, IPCC 9
10 Some general findings For ini+alized decadal hindcasts, mul-model ensemble outperforms most single model results (Chikamoto et al. 2012a, Kim et al. 2012, and Smith et al. 2012b.) (From Meehl et al BAMS) Poten+al predic+bility: Greater for ocean heat content than atmospheric or land variables (Hermanson and SuWon 2010) (From Kirtman et al IPCC) Ocean skill increases with la+tude and depth (Power and Colman 2006) (From Kirtman et al IPCC) Greater at higher la+tudes (extratropical oceans) than over land (Figure 11.1, Kirtman et al 2013, IPCC) Lower for tropics and over land, where skill mostly from external forcing (Figure 11.1, Kirtman et al. 2013, IPCC) 10
11 Decadal phenomena that could contribute to skill Pacific 11-year solar cycle with tropical Pacific SSTs Pacific Decadal Oscilla+on (PDO), North Pacific Index (NPI), Interdecadal Pacific Oscilla+on (IPO) Atlan-c Atlan+c meridional overturning circula+ons (AMOCs) Strong +es with North Atlan+c Oscilla+on Atlan+c Mul+decadal Oscilla+on (AMO), Atlan+c mul+decadal variability (AMV) Meehl et al
12 Technical challenges remain Model ini-aliza-on/data assimila-on Many different methods by different modeling groups (Table 1, Meehl et al BAMS) For dril: Full-field ini+aliza+on vs anomaly ini+aliza+on (Meehl et al BAMS) Limited availability of observa-ons (Goddard et al BAMS) Dynamical model limita-ons (Goddard et al BAMS) Kirtman et al. 2013, IPCC 12
13 Technical challenges remain Predic-ons require bias adjustment 1 Models dril from the observed ini+al state to its own preferred state, some+mes rapidly. Mean bias adjustment does not address issues such as poten+al trends (+me dependence) in the dril/ bias. i.e., correc+on is more complicated than for centennial runs. Fig. 1. Meehl et al BAMS 1 CMIP WGCM WGSIP Decadal Climate Predic+on Panel, 2011: Data and bias correc+on for decadal climate predic+ons. WCRP Rep., ICPO Publ. Series 150, 3 pp. 13 [Available online at /decadal/references/dcpp_bias_correc+on.pdf.]
14 Recommenda+on for bias correc+on: Most users will find it difficult to bias correct the decadal predic+on runs; it is therefore recommended that analysis of the near-term simula+ons be limited to the four variables that the modeling groups themselves plan to bias correct: near-surface air temperature, surface temperature, precipita-on rate, and sea level pressure. * *I m not sure if CMIP5 archive includes bias-corrected fields need to check. Taylor et al BAMS 14
15 Bias correc+on op+on for 30-year hindcast: One method is to use the year 10 bias adjustment for years 11 30, assuming most of the dril occurs by year 10 (Meehl and Teng 2012, 2014). (Towler et al., 2012 AGU poster) 15
16 Predic+on quality needs to be assessed using a common verifica+on framework hwp://clivar-dpwg.iri.columbia.edu/ Need to use common obs Goddard et al Clim Dyn 16
17 Temp: Widespread predic+ve skill of predic+ons vs. observa+ons. Meehl et al BAMS 17
18 Temp: Less skill added from ini+aliza+on, varies spa+ally Meehl et al BAMS 18
19 Oceans show highest skill, but skill source and regions vary Indian Ocean Shows highest surface temp skill due to external forcing from GHGs (so projec+ons are also skillful) Atlan-c Ocean Many studies find that ini+aliza+on improves the predic+ve skill of temperature in the North Atlan+c par+ally due to skillful AMOC predic+on. Some encouraging results for tropical Atlan+c Pacific Ocean Less skill than Indian and Atlan+c Ocean Interannual variability from ENSO, but debate on rela+onship between ENSO and decadal oscilla+ons like PDO. Some studies do show some improved skill from ini+aliza+on, esp. in Western & South Pacific 19 Meehl et al BAMS
20 Precipita+on is less skillful than temp Meehl et al BAMS Precipita+on skill can be awributed mostly to radia+ve forcing (high confidence), ini+aliza+on improves the skill very liwle (Goddard et al., 2013). 20
21 Some skill in predic+ng extreme temperatures and precipita+on 10% likelihood of occurrence (moderate extremes) Met Office Decadal Predic+on System (DePreSys) Skill in extremes is similar but slightly lower than for mean Some excep+ons where there are trends in extremes (e.g., USA cold nights). Over mul+years, skill is from external forcing Eade et al Skill in summer extreme indices, mostly from external forcing; DePreSys (Hanlon et al. 2013) 21
22 Decadal ocean skill could lead to skillful predic+ons over land Skillful North Atlan+c Ocean SSTs could improve (i) rainfall over African Sahel, India, and Brazil, (ii) Atlan+c hurricanes, and (iii) summer climate over Europe and America. Skillful Pacific SSTs could improve rainfall over North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Skillful Pacific and Atlan+c SSTs could improve drought predic+on over US. Meehl et al BAMS 22
23 Ini+alized predic+ons show less warming than projec+ons. Figure 11.9b Kirtman et al. 2013, IPCC 23
24 Decadal predic+ons are not considered opera+onal decadal predic+ons are in an exploratory stage (Taylor et al BAMS) very much an experimental and nascent ac+vity. (Goddard et al Clim Dyn) Due to the limita+ons, the es+mates obtained from the hindcasts may provide a poor, and even misleading, guide to the future performance of the decadal predic+on systems. (Goddard et al Clim Dyn) 24
25 Decadal predic+ons have many features in common with seasonal forecasts Goddard et al BAMS; Goddard et al Clim Dyn. 25
26 Seasonal forecasts can provide a testbed for decadal predic+ons. Build trust: Seasonal forecasts offer opportunity to demonstrate performance over the recent past and over the next few seasons/years. Increase uptake: Using seasonal climate informa+on will indirectly strengthen capacity for using climate info on longer +me scales. Goddard et al BAMS 26

Meehl et al BAMS 27
28 The way forward Increase understanding of climate and social influences on impacts Leverage predic+ons in places where ini+aliza+on improves skill (e.g., North Atlan+c) Leverage projec+ons in places where skill is due to external forcing (e.g., Indian Ocean) (*This is mostly what IPCC 2013 does; also can compare predic<ons and projec<ons-extremes?). Leverage NCAR medium/large ensemble where internal variability is important (e.g., local impacts) Develop generalized framework that will be ready when decadal predic+ons improve Use seasonal forecas+ng as a testbed Inves+gate how to best incorporate decadal predic+ons in decisions Inves+gate best communica+on of decadal predic+ons 28
