Answers
the scientific capability to make seasonal-to-interannual climate forecasts and discusses the types of forecasts that are likely to be socially useful. As background for readers unfamiliar with climate forecasting, we begin by discussing the distinction between weather and climate and how climate forecasts are made.
Weather and Climate
We are all familiar with the progression of the weather. Every few days, the temperature changes, rain comes and goes, or a severe storm hits. The characteristic time scale for changes in weather in the mid-latitudes is a few days or less. In the tropics, especially over the ocean, the weather tends to be much steadier, with sunny weather and steady trade winds punctuated by an hour of daily downpour (usually in the late afternoon) or by a squall every few days.
We are also intuitively familiar with the concept of climate: we recall an especially warm summer or an especially snowy winter. The definition of climate is in accord with our intuitive concept: climate is the statistics of weather averaged over a time period that contains many weather events, usually at least a month. The mean summer temperature (the temperature taken every day for 90 days during the summer and then averaged) is a climatic quantity, as is the mean February rainfall. The characteristic time scale of climate is therefore a month or longer.
