This three year research program will investigate the                      physical mechanisms that (a) give rise to a major mode of low                   frequency near-global climate variability and (b) are responsible               for the evolutionary atmospheric features that allow successful                 short-term (seasonal to inter-annual) climate prediction.  The                  primary data base for this analysis will be a 16-year simulation                of the general circulation model from the European Center for                   Medium Range Weather Forecasting which was forced by observed                   global sea surface temperatures.  The knowledge gained from (a)                 and (b) will be used to construct a highly parameterized                        numerical model of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system that may                 be capable, in certain instances, of making successful ultra                    long-range climate forecasts.  This work is important because it                will enhance our understanding of interannual climate variations                associated with El Nino and the Southern Oscillation phenomenon.
