Largest response:. Exp 1. Exp 3. Exp 2. NCEP vs AGCM = 0.4581 NCEP vs CGCM = 0.3775. AGCM better able to capture trend Here, AGCM (in forecast mode) is therefore a better representation of reality Should thus give better predictions of rainfall over South Africa than CGCM.

Model output statistics (MOS) applied to • AGCM ensemble mean SLP • CGCM ensemble mean SLP • Verification • 5-year-out cross-validation • Spearman rank correlation AGCM-MOSslp – CGCM-MOSslp Only about 5% of the stations show local significant correlation differences at the 95% level Forecast skill not significantly different irrespective of the use of “correct” or “incorrect” SLP forecasts
