In this section we will discuss different product from the extended-range forecasts. We will discuss also the verification aspects and drivers of predictability.
- The extended forecasts are produced twice a week (Monday and Thursday). The forecast resolution is ~36 km (15 - 46 days). The extended forecasts start from Day 14 of the ENS.
- Forecasts are produced for the coming 46 days with focus on week to week changes in the weather.
- Forecasts are generally presented for the first 32 days in terms of anomalies relative to the climate
- The long forecast ranges are best used if presented as multi-days means (maximize the possibility to capture predictable signals)
- Other products are of value: potential tropical cyclone activity, MJO indices, potential Sudden Stratospheric Warming activity.
