Goals

Researchers, forecast users and forecast providers have a better understanding of the potential to use sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts to support decision-making.

Publications and training materials for users and early career researchers.

Researchers, forecast users and forecast providers have a better understanding of regime dependent variations in forecast skill and uncertainty and how to quantify it.

• Publicly available research datasets from extended sub-seasonal reforecasts and process sensitivity experiments.
• Peer reviewed publications on sources of regime dependent skill.
• Documents methods for regime dependent post-processing/forecast calibration.

Forecast providers and users have improved methods for incorporating sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast information into their decision-making processes and measuring the value of that forecast information.

A set of guidelines outlining the process of how best to identify different user needs and tailor forecasts, and recommendations on how to deal with uncertainty when dealing with S2S information.

Improved capacity and capability for advancing the use and communication of sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast information in decision-making.

Training materials and recorded webinars on S2S forecast, communication and information.
