Atmospheric modelling and prediction at time scales from days to seasons

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

INTRODUCTION Seamless prediction is the notion of using common forecast systems to predict for multiple time scales. There is a growing trend internationally towards seamless prediction systems that will bridge the gap between weather forecasts and forecasts for much longer time scales (Vitart et al. 2008). There are important alliances between the mathematical models of the atmosphere to predict the weather and those predicting the anomalies associated with climate variability and change.
