| Session Description | The one of interdisciplinary grand challenges in climate science is development of Earth System Models to provide more reliable and useful climate prediction information on seasonal to decadal and longer timescales. The information has a potential to translate into better assessment of multi-scale global and regional climate-related risks. The goal of this session is to advance our knowledge on the sources of regional and global climate predictability, to evaluate the current Earth System Models’ performance on seasonal to decadal climate prediction and to look for possibilities of their application to Earth system processes. The topics include (1) the development and validation of multi-scale seasonal-to-decadal climate prediction based on latest Earth system models (2) the multi-scale seasonal-to-decadal predictability of climate system process and (3) progresses in understanding of the multi-scale climate interactions and feedbacks with the other Earth system components. This session solicits contributions embracing a System Science approach to the study of coupled parameterizations, coupled processes, impacts of coupling and feedbacks, and verification of the coupled atmosphere-ocean, atmosphere-land, atmosphere-hydrology, atmosphere-ice, ocean-hydrology, ocean-ice and climate biosphere including human component. We also encourage the topic from the climate impact assessment, climate change detection and attribution, and the early warning system based on the climate predictions. |
