  1. On Climate Predictability of the Summer Monsoon Rainfall Bin Wang Department of Meteorology and IPRC University of Hawaii Acknowledging contribution from Q. H. Ding, X. H. Fu, I.-S. Kang, J.-Y. Lee, K. Jin

  2. JJA precipitation, 850 hPa winds, 200hPa STR MCZ: BOB-SCS-PS

  3. Why do we care about the rainfall in MCZ? Source of predictability for EASM Wang, Wu and Lau 2001

  4. Assessment of 11 AGCMs ensemble simulations of summer monsoon rainfall Data: CLIVAR/ Monsoon panel Intercomparison project) (Kang et al. 2002) AMIP type design 10-member ensemble Focus on 1997 ElNino (Sept 1 1996-August 31 1998)

  5. ISM (5-30N, 65-105E) WNPSM (5-25N, 110-150E) AGCMs climatology is poor in WNP heat source region

  6. AAM and El Nino domain

  7. El Nino region A-AM region Wang, Kang, Lee 2003, JC

  9. Prediction skill for JJA rainfall (2 years) 11-model ensemble mean

  10. Prediction skill for JJA rainfall (21 years) 5-model ensemble mean

  11. Why do Nearly All Atmospheric Models Fail to Simulate Seasonal Rainfall Anomalies in Summer Monsoon Convergence Zones? Bad model? Poor strategy?

  12. Concurrent Rainfall Leads SST by 1-month SST leads Rainfall by 1-month Observed Rainfall-SST correlation (1979-2002) Fig.3

  13. Simultatious Rainfall Leads SST by 1-month SST leads Rainfall by 1-month Rainfall-SST correlation fromCoupled model ) Fig.4

  14. Concurrent Rainfall Leads SST by 1-month SST leads Rainfall by 1-month Rainfall-SST correlation from AMIP-type run Fig.5

  15. Predictability of the ISO Are MJO or boreal summer ISO reproducible in forced AGCM simulations (AMIP-type)? How important is the air-sea interaction in prediction of ISO?

  20. Summary AGCM alone can not reproduce realistic seasonal rainfall anomalies in summer Monsoon Convergence Zone (MCZ). Caution should be taken when validating model or determining upper limit of predictability using AMIP approach. Two-tier approach may be inherently inadequate for monsoon rainfall anomalies. Atmospheric only model may loss significant amount of predictability on MJO. Coupled and forced ISO solutions are two distinguished solutions. Chaos can be induced by both IC and BC errors.

  22. Main Points Current AGCMs forced by SSTA have little skill in simulation and prediction of seasonal rainfall anomalies over summer Monsoon Convergence Zone (MCZ). Cautions must be taken when validating model or determining the upper limit of the predictability using AMIP approach. Two-tier approach may be inherently inadequate for monsoon rainfall anomalies. Atmospheric only model may loss significant amount of predictability of MJO.
