RSM Regional Climate Model • Model: Nested GSM+RSM GSM: GFS2003 T62L28 RSM: RSM2004 50km, 28 levels • Domain: CONUS • Hindcast: * A 3-member ensemble of 1 month lead forecast from 1982-2001 * Initial Condition: Last day of previous month and the first two days of current month * Boundary Condition: predicted SST from CFS, RSM gets boundary condition from GSM

Summary • Both CFS and RSM RCM show some skills in winter ENSO event and in monsoon event. • The large scale features of the forecast from RSM RCM is consist with those features from CFS prediction. • The forecast RSM catches more realistic small scale details. The interactions between small scale phenomena and large skill phenomena change the seasonal climate prediction, the RSM RCM creates a value –added products based on CFS.
