Description
Summary:[...] scientists working on decadal predictions can learn from experiences in initialization, perturbation, and verification in short-term-to-seasonal forecasting. [...] some aspects of a newer IFS cycle have been implemented additionally, including a new convection scheme and the new land surface scheme HTESSEL. In line with the seamless prediction strategy discussed above, we assess here the performance of the EC-Earth model using both climate metrics (e.g., longterm means, radiative balance, and slow processes) and weather metrics (e.g., short-term forecast skill and fast processes).\n Aside from improving modeling techniques in both NWP and climate contexts, insights from NWP are applied in Earth-system sciences within the EC-Earth project - for instance, the occurrence of episodes of midlatitude atmospheric blocking conditions.
