This clear and accessible text describes the methods underlying
short-term climate prediction at time scales of 2 weeks to a year.
Although a difficult range to forecast accurately, there have been
several important advances in the last ten years, most notably in
understanding ocean-atmosphere interaction (El Nino for example),
the release of global coverage data sets, and in prediction methods
themselves. With an emphasis on the empirical approach, the text
covers in detail empirical wave propagation, teleconnections,
empirical orthogonal functions, and constructed analogue. It also
provides a detailed description of nearly all methods used
operationally in long-lead seasonal forecasts, with new examples
and illustrations. The challenges of making a real time forecast
are discussed, including protocol, format, and perceptions about
users. Based where possible on global data sets, illustrations are
not limited to the Northern Hemisphere, but include several
examples from the Southern Hemisphere. Includes foreword by
Professor Edward Lorenz (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
