Near-term Predictions: Decadal Scenarios

What are the Near-term Predictions?

The near-term decadal prediction experiments are initialized from observed states of the climate system to explore climate predictability and prediction on decadal to multidecadal time scales. In these simulations, the models will not only respond, as in the long-term runs, to climate forcing (e.g., increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration) but also potentially track to some degree the actual trajectory of climate change, including (within the currently unknown predictability limits of the climate system) the unforced component of climate evolution.

Note that decadal predictions with climate models are in an exploratory stage. A number of different methods are being tried to assimilate ocean observations into the models, and no single method has gained widespread acceptance. Moreover, the quality and completeness of ocean observations may be insufficient to realize but a fraction of the predictability inherent in the system. Thus, the forecast systems being assembled for CMIP5 are clearly not considered operational, nor will they necessarily provide more realistic simulations than the long-term simulations.
