Verification of Linear Inverse Modeling Tropical OLR, Wind, and SST Anomalies Months 2-9 Forecasts

C-LIM forecast verification for the most recent "monthly" (35-day mean) OLR/200 mb wind (left, with contour interval 2.5 W/m²) and SST/850 mb wind (right, with contour interval 0.1^oC) anomalies. Note that the initialization (Pentad 0) is shown in the EOF space of the model. Wind vectors are scaled by the reference vector (m/s) shown on each plot; vectors with speed below 0.5 m/s (1 m/s) at 850 mb (200 mb) are omitted for clarity. All forecasts verify against Month 0, which is shown in the EOF space of the model. For comparison, see the cross-validated forecast skill maps.
