The Impact of Land Initialization and Assimilation on Climate Predictability and PredictionAnalysis will be presented which explores the impact of land conditions on monthly to seasonal climate simulations in a variety of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). In one set of experiments, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GDFL) AGCM is used to explore the nature of soil-moisture predictability and associated climate predictability as an initial value problem. For another set of experiments, the Center for Ocean Land Atmosphere (COLA) and the Goddard Earth Observing System 2 (GEOS-2) AGCMs are used to investigate the impact of realistic snow initialization and assimilation in retrospective climate forecasts for the northern hemisphere spring (March-June).
