  1. Teleconnection Patterns and Seasonal Climate Prediction over South America The Final Chapter??? Tércio Ambrizzi and Rosmeri P. da Rocha University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil EUROBRISA 2010 – Barcelona, Spain

  2. OBJECTIVE To analyze in detail 21 years of ECWMF seasonal forecast simulations using basic statistical methods and particularly the linear wave theory, in order to evaluate the seasonal forecast skill and its useful value

  3. (1/3º x 1/3º and 0,83º lat x 1,25º lon) (1º x 1º and 1,25º lat x 1,825º lon) (Dawson et al 2010 – CD)

  4. DATA AND METHODOLOGY • Climatological Data used : ECMWF/ERA40 – period 1982 – 2001 • ECMWF Coupled GCM – Hindcast Period – 1982 – 2001 – 11 ensemble • members – 6 months forecasting • The seasons are: DJF (Summer), MAM (Fall), JJA (Winter), • and SON (Spring) • To create the seasonal datasets it was used the third month of each • six months forecasting (PREV3) and three months seasonal forecasting (3MES) • Pearson linear correlation was used in some of the analyzes • The basic variables used in this presentation is Zonal (U) and Meridional • Wind (V) • Ray tracing analysis will be presented as well

  27. summary • The GCM is not able to correctly represent the position of the maximum and minimum hemispheric zonal wind (large variability among the ensemble members) • There are considerable errors in the amplitudes of the zonal and meridional wind over different regions of South America. • The precipitation is overestimated in the hemispheric analysis but the model underestimate it in the different regions over South America. • Ray tracing analyzes clearly suggest that the model is not able reproduce the expected wave trajectory because it does not represent the Southern Hemisphere zonal wind variability. Bigger wavenumber larger variability among the trajectories.

  28. IS THIS THE END??

  29. FUTURE WORK • Repeat all previous analyzes for the Meteo Office and CPTEC hindcast data. • Select some specific years to analyze the atmospheric circulation over South America in order to determine some dynamical aspects of the model ensemble members and their deviation. We have to look more careful at ENSO years • A Scientific paper is underway containing the main results of the first part of this work • One M.Sc. Dissertation was concluded and the work was presented in some international conferences.
