Next:Bayesian weighting methodfor multi-model ensembling
IRI uses two multi-model ensembling methods:
Bayesian method
Canonical variate method
Both methods analyze historical model performance in responding to observed
SST.

Canonical variate method:
A kind of discriminant analysis.
Input: ensemble mean, ensemble spread,ensemble skewness
Algorithm finds linear combinations ofpredictors leading to each catergorical
(tercile) result. Differences amongthe sets of predictor weights are
maximized.

Most important current needsin IRI forecast system:
Improvement of SST prediction in 2-tiered system1) Tropical Pacific: better model consolidation, with
development of multiple evolving scenarios2) Outside tropical Pacific:“Smarter” persistence scenario,
or multivariate statistical model (e.g. CCA)
Use of 1-tiered climate model for some regionsSlab ocean model in locations where 2-tiered system fails
(Indian Ocean, far west Pacific and tropical Atlantic oceans)
