A Review of the Development of Air-sea Coupled Model and the Experiment on Seasonal and Interannual Prediction

The current status on the air-sea coupled models and prediction experiments is intruduced and reviewed by analysing the model intercomparisons as following: (1) treatment on climate drift and ENSO interannual variability, (2) influence of model resolution coupled pattern and parameterization on the interannual variation, (3) the relationship of ENSO-related interannual prediction to the initial time and data, and (4) the relationship of ENSO to moonson: air-sea-land coupled system. Finally, a suggestion on how to run the corresponding experiment in China is proposed.
