Prediction and Predictability
The current generation of climate models represents a significant advancement in sophistication over the previous generation. Improvements include increases in spatial and temporal resolution and better representation of physical processes. These improvements should lead to improvements in the quality of predictions and projections, but it is important that techniques are developed to critically assess these improvements in order to build the confidence in users and to identify the most likely targets for future investments.
