International Conference on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction, College Park, Maryland - 10-13 February 2014

 

The goal of the WWRP/THORPEX-WCRP joint Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) research project is to improve forecast skill and understanding on the subseasonal to seasonal timescale, and promote its uptake by operational centers and exploitation by the applications community. 
 
The conference will bring together research community, the operational centers, and the applications community interested in forecasts on subseasonal to seasonal timescale. 
Where: NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction, College Park, Maryland, USA.
When: 10-13 February, 2014 
Contact: Arun Kumar (arun.kumar@noaa.gov) 
 
Topics of the conference will include: 
(a) relevant phenomenon for subseasonal to seasonal predictions and their predictability; 
(b) prediction of extremes; 
(c) initialization and perturbation methods; 
(d) design of forecast systems, bias correction, verifications, and quantification of uncertainty; 
(e) approaches to integrate S2S forecasts into applications.
