Preliminary, Tentative Results of Questionable Value by No-one who wants to be Identified

T1279 7-Month Simulations:12 Year Model Climatology:01 May 2000,2001,…,2011 -15 Members2013: 01 May 2013 – 2 Members (thus far)Focus on North American Dry/Wet Pattern- Especially possible forcing mechanisms
TENTATIVE Summary Regarding the Spring-summer 2013 North American Precip/TSfc, preliminary (ENS=2) MINERVA T1279 MJJA 2013 Simulations have: • Reasonable SST Forcing upstream versus OBS ? • Reasonable SWET Forcing locally versus OBS ? • Possible Impact of SST requires further investigation into teleconnection mechanisms. • Local evaporation anomalies imply Impact of local SWET • Dry West / Wet East Precip pattern roughly simulated • Hot West / Cold East TSfcpattern roughly simulated • Larger Ensemble and further analysis required
