We began in 2015 as a NOAA funded research project called The Subseasonal Experiment (SubX). Our intial project provided guidance to NOAA's week 3-4 temperature and precipitation outlooks from a large suite of global weather & climate models
In 2023 the project was re-organized into the Subseasonal Consortium, a group of academic, government, and non-profits with a collective goal of using forecast
information to improve global access to food, energy, water, and security in a changing climate
Today we provide global forecast information 2-4 weeks ahead
in support of actionable climate services for
water and climate security, agriculture, and other sectors
Most people are familar with daily weather forecats out to about 1-week
Many people are also familiar with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate projections for decades to centuires
However, many important decisions need to be made on timescales longer than 1-week and less than decades and centuries. This is where The Subseasonal Consortium can provide climate information on actionable timescales.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia,
there live the
blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics
Forecast maps of individual models and a multi-model ensemble
Weekly forecast data files processed for easy use
Text based information about the forecasts and science behind them
Evaluation of skill for various models and regions
