Description:

The intrinsic and practical predictability of global weather forecasting is of great interest to all numerical weather prediction centers around the world.  This session will have four invited talks by internationally known predictability experts to speak on what we know about intrinsic predictability, where we currently are in actual predictive skill and what improvements could be made to models, observations and data assimilation to push current practical predictability closer to the theoretical limit. All engaged in these topics are encouraged to submit their research and innovations in these areas as posters.
