This area covers research into climate variability and predictability; development of operational ensemble-prediction systems, derived applications and products for seasonal to decadal timescales. Our decadal prediction system is the first in the world and our long-range predictions are currently among the most skilful. The forecasts and applications have a variety of uses throughout the world.
