NMME Forecasts of Monthly Climate Anomalies for

Sep 2011 to May 2012 (Updated: Wed Aug 10 21:43:52 EDT 2011)

This page displays seasonal climate anomalies from the National Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME). Models: NCEP coupled forecast system model (CFSv1), NCEP coupled forecast system model 2 (CFSv2), ECHAMA, ECHAMF, GFDL, NCAR

CAUTION: Seasonal climate anomalies shown here are not the official NCEP seasonal forecast outlooks. The NCEP seasonal forecast outlooks can be found at CPC website. Model based seasonal climate anomalies are one factor based on which NCEP seasonal forecast outlook is issued.
