The purpose of WGSIP is to facilitate global collaborative research and information exchange to advance subseasonal to interdecadal climate prediction science and services.
Research goals are to:
-
Through numerical experimentation, artificial intelligence applications and other means, explore and promote the development of improved data assimilation, model initialization and forecasting procedures for subseasonal to interdecadal predictions, considering such factors as observing system evaluation, use of ensemble and probabilistic methods, statistical and empirical enhancements, and measures of forecast skill
-
Work toward improving knowledge of sources of predictability across the Earth system as they evolve in a changing climate, informing the development of subseasonal to interdecadal forecast products having value to society
-
Share knowledge on the development and trends in Research-to-Operations processes, operational subseasonal to interdecadal prediction and climate services with ESMO, additional WCRP entities, and the WMO
WGSIP oversees the Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP), which coordinates the scientific and practical aspects of decadal climate prediction research within WCRP. WGSIP reports to the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee on the status of subseasonal to interdecadal prediction and liaises with the WCRP Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM) and the Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE).
