TL;DR: In this article, the authors address changes in weather and climate events relevant to extreme impacts and disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and floods, which can lead to extreme conditions or impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Areas beneath the relative operating characteristics (ROC) and relative operating levels (ROL) curves: Statistical significance and interpretation
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the ROC area is equivalent to the Mann-Whitney U-statistic testing the significance of forecast event probabilities for cases where events actually occurred with those where events did not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current Approaches to Seasonal to Interannual Climate Predictions
Lisa Goddard,Simon J. Mason,Stephen E. Zebiak,Chester F. Ropelewski,Reid Basher,Mark A. Cane +5 more
TL;DR: This article presented an assessment of the current state of knowledge and capability in seasonal climate prediction at the end of the 20th century, including the theory and empirical evidence for predictability, predictions of surface boundary conditions, such as sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and predictions of the climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria early warnings based on seasonal climate forecasts from multi-model ensembles
Madeleine C. Thomson,Francisco J. Doblas-Reyes,Simon J. Mason,Renate Hagedorn,Stephen J. Connor,T. Phindela,Andrew P. Morse,Tim Palmer +7 more
TL;DR: The development of a system to forecast probabilities of anomalously high and low malaria incidence with dynamically based, seasonal-timescale, multi-model ensemble predictions of climate, using leading global coupled ocean–atmosphere climate models developed in Europe is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Framework for Climate Services
TL;DR: There is a growing and urgent need to improve society's resilience to climate-related hazards and better manage the risks and opportunities arising from climate variability and climate change as mentioned in this paper, and there is also a need to take climate adaptation into account.
