"
In August 2004 the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP) implemented a new seasonal prediction system, called the
Climate Forecast System (CFS) that marked a turning point in several ways.
......
As a result, a large group of scientists, both at NCEP
and at COLA, began analyzing and experimenting with the CFS as a prediction
system and research tool. In the course of discussions in early 2007 between
COLA and NCEP, it became clear that an exchange of research results and
findings would be highly beneficial to both groups and perfectly consistent
with the goals of the CTB, so a joint CTB-COLA seminar series was established
in Fall 2007. During 2007-2008 period, monthly seminars were
held at both NCEP (by COLA scientists) and COLA (by NCEP scientists). The
seminar series generated a great deal of interest at both centers and resulted
in a rich and valuable exchange of information and insights about seasonal
prediction in general and the CFS in particular. ......"
