NOAA North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME)

climate meteorological weather

Description

The North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) is an experimental multi-model seasonal forecasting system consisting of coupled models from US modeling centers including NOAA/NCEP, NOAA/GFDL, NCAR, NASA, and Canada's ECCC.

The need for the development of NMME operational predictive capability was recommended in US National Academies report "Assessment of Intraseasonal to Interannual Climate Prediction and Predictability". Indeed, the national effort is required to meet the specific tailored regional prediction and decision support needs of a large community. The multi-model ensemble approach has proven extremely effective at quantifying prediction uncertainty due to uncertainty in model formulation, and has proven to produce better prediction quality (on average) than any single model ensemble. This multi-model approach is the basis for several international collaborative prediction research efforts, including an operational European system. There are numerous examples of how this multi-model ensemble approach yields superior forecasts compared to any single model.
