内容記述 | Forecasts of zonal wind fields produced by the medium-range forecast (MRF) model of the National Meteorological Center are used to create predictions of the atmosphere's angular momentum at lead times of 1-10 days. Based on momentum forecasts archived for the period December 1985-November 1986, it is found that, on average, the MRF exhibits positive skill relative to persistence-based forecasts at all lead times. Over the entire one-year study period, the improvement over persistence exceeds 20 percent for 2-6 day forecasts and remains as large as 10 percent even for 10-day forecasts. On the other hand, skill scores for the MRF momentum predictions vary considerably from month to month, and for a sizable fraction of the study period, the MRF is less skillful than persistence. |
