  23. Summary • Composite of the APCN participating models reproduces major features of the observation, while there is a considerable diversity among the models. • In the global sense, APCN MME system provides superior performance to any single model prediction in term of climatology, variability and predictability. • Statistical bias correct of individual models prior to multi-model ensemble(MME3) enhances predictability compare to simple model composite(MME1) or SVD superensemble(MME2) • However, most of the models show significant deficiency in simulating regional climate over the Asian monsoon region. Thus the MMEs are relatively not effective. Model physics needs to be improved for better Asian monsoon prediction. APECClimate Network
