dc.description.abstract
Time-variations in the gravity field as observed by the GRACE mission provide
for the first time quantitative estimates of the terrestrial water storage
(TWS) at monthly resolution over one decade (2002–2011). TWS from GRACE is
applied here to validate three different ensemble sets of decadal hindcasts
performed with the coupled climate model MPI-ESM within the German research
project MiKlip. Those experiments differ in terms of the applied low (LR) and
medium (MR) spatial resolution configuration of MPI-ESM, as well as by the
applied ensemble initialization strategy, where ocean-only (b0) is replaced by
atmosphere and ocean (b1) anomaly initialization. Moderately positive skill
scores of the initialized hindcasts are obtained both with respect to the zero
anomaly forecast and the uninitialized projections in particular for lead year
1 in moderate to high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Skill scores
gradually increase when moving from b0-LR to b1-LR, and less prominent also
for b1-LR to b1-MR, thereby documenting improvements of the MPI-ESM decadal
climate prediction system during the most recent years.
