Abstract: | Due to the limitations of model performances, the predictive skills of current climate models for the Asian-Australian summer monsoon precipitation are still poor. The prediction based on the combination of statistical and dynamic approaches is an effective way to improve the predictive skills. We used such method to identify the predictable modes of the Asian-Australian summer monsoon precipitation with clear physical interpretation from the historical observational data. Then we combined the principal components time series of these modes predicted by the coupled models, which is derived from the seasonal prediction experiments in the ENSEMBLES project, and the corresponding spatial patterns derived from the above observational analysis to reconstruct the precipitation field. These formed a statistical-dynamic seasonal prediction model for the Asian-Australian summer monsoon precipitation. We analyzed the predictive skills of the model at 1-, 4-and 7-month leads. The result shows that the forecast skills of the statistical-dynamic prediction model are higher than those of the simple dynamic predictions. In addition, the predictive skills of the Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) mean are superior to those of any individual models. Therefore, it is very necessary to implement multi-model ensemble prediction for the monsoon precipitation. |
