Abstract :
One major Earth system model component is a coupled model that provides a predictive framework and describes the ocean-atmosphere circulations, and the water and energy cycles. Major future predictive capabilities will extend predictions well past the present limits of weather predictability, to include monthly to seasonal predictions of climate variability and the oceanic and atmospheric causes and effects of this variability.
