Calibration and combination issues
• Why do forecasts need it?• Which are the best ways to calibrate?• How to get good probability estimates?• Who should do it?
Calibration
Combination• Why combine forecasts?• Should model predictions be weighted or selected?• How best to combine?• Who should do it?

• Forecasts can be improved both by calibration and by combination
• Statistical calibration and combination is analogous to data assimilation and is a fundamental and essential part of the forecasting process (forecast assimilation)
• Forecast assimilation is easy to do for normally distributed predictands such as monthly mean temperatures and seasonal rainfall:• Nino-3 probability forecasts improved – less biased and smaller spread• Equatorial SST forecasts improved in eastern and western Pacific• S. American rainfall forecasts improved in Equatorial and Southern regions
• Combination can improve the resolution of the forecasts (the ability to discriminate between different observed situations) whereas calibration can improve the reliability of the forecasts
• First steps towards an integrated seasonal forecasting system for South America including both empirical and coupled model predictions
• EUROBRISA project will implement this system at CPTEC - Brazil

The EUROBRISA ProjectLead Investigator: Caio A.S. Coelho
Key Idea: To improve seasonal forecasts in S. America:a region where there is seasonal forecast skill and useful value.
Aims• Strengthen collaboration and promote exchange of expertise and information between European and S. American seasonal forecasters
• Produce improved well-calibrated real-time probabilistic seasonal forecasts for South America
• Develop real-time forecast products for non-profitable governmental use (e.g. reservoir management, hydropower production, and agriculture)
EUROBRISA was approved by ECMWF council in June 2005

More natural to model uncertainty in forecasts for a given observation(ensemble spread of dots) than to model uncertainty in observationsfor a given ensemble forecast. so we model the likelihood on right ratherthan the more common forecast calibration (MOS) approach on the left.
