An international team of researchers (USA – NOAA, NASA, George Mason University, University of Florida, SUNY Stony Brook, Canada) reports that the Subseasonal Experiment (SubX) is a multimodel subseasonal prediction [weather conditions 3-to-4 weeks out] experiment designed around operational requirements with the goal of improving subseasonal forecasts. Seven global models have produced 17 years of retrospective (re)forecasts and more than a year of weekly real-time forecasts. The reforecasts and forecasts are archived at the Data Library of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society, Columbia University, providing a comprehensive database for research on subseasonal to seasonal predictability and predictions. The SubX models show skill for forecasting temperature and precipitation 3 weeks ahead of time in specific regions…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
