On the seasonal prediction of the western United States El Niño precipitation pattern during the 2015/16 winter
Description: There has been an increasing call for better seasonal precipitation prediction systems to support water resource management, particularly over regions like the western United States, where a multi-year drought persisted from 2012-2016. This research addresses the challenge of building a better prediction system by exploring the extent to which this past winter's western U.S. precipitation anomalies may have been predictable, using experimental retrospective forecasts with GFDL's Forecast-Oriented Low Resolution (FLOR) model.
