Use of Sea-Surface Temperature in Long-Range Prediction,
Abstract
The problems associated with complexly-coupled systems like ocean and atmosphere are so difficult to solve that it is not yet possible to lay down a set of reliable forecasting rules. This is particularly true in extended and long-range forecasting where the response time of one medium to the other is not known. In spite of these gaps in knowledge there seems to be sufficient order in large-scale air-sea interactions over period of months and seasons, so that some qualitative use of this information can be helpful in prediction. The report discusses the following: The joint interactions which appear to produce sea-surface temperature variations; General concepts useful in long-range weather forecasting.
