4. Model Uncertainties perturbations:

Model dynamics perturbationsNone
Model physics perturbations
  • Stochastic perturbation of 18 parameters (SPP).
  • Modified parameter values and ranges are based on simulated climatology and variability (e.g., tropical waves) and forecast skill

If there is a control forecast, is it perturbed?

No
