Seasonal Anomaly Correlation Coefficient Charts

These charts shows the Anomaly Correlation Coefficient (ACC) for the seasonal anomalies derived from the ECMWF Seasonal Forecast.     

...

  • Brown, red and orange colouring imply seasonal forecast anomalies have successfully represented the observed anomalies.
  • Light orange and yellow colouring imply seasonal forecast anomalies have had only limited success in representing the observed anomalies.
  • Grey and blue colouring imply seasonal forecast anomalies have had no success or been misleading in representing the observed anomalies.

Values above about 0.6 (orange, red, brown) indicate success of the seasonal forecast in representing the observed anomalies.  Negative values (grey and blues) indicate no success (or actually misleading) seasonal forecast in representing the observed anomalies.   Black dots signify 95% confidence.
