Lyngby, Denmark, 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, Geesthacht, Germany While ecological forecasting is still a field in its infancy, meterologists have been thinking about how to check the validity of their forecasts for more than 50 years. We have…
Dr Mark Payne1 1Technical University Of Denmark (DTU), Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark A unique but rarely appreciated characteristic of the Ocean is its high predictability: today it is possible to reliably forecast the physical state of the Ocean months, years and even a decade or more into the future. If these physical forecasts can be translated…
