Experimental NOAA/ESRL PSD and CIRES/CDC Forecast of Niño 3.4 in IndoPacific Domain
Predictions of Niño 3.4 SSTA (blue solid line) and verification (solid red line). Dashed lines indicate one standard deviation confidence intervals appropriate to the LIM forecast. Niño3.4 Index was calculated in the area of 6N-6S, 170W-120W.
