The objective of this workshop is to:
- Advance scientific understanding of multi-year predictability
- Characterize physical and dynamical processes in the coupled climate system, including the oceans, land surface, and cryosphere, that can be exploited to improve multi-year forecasts
- Highlight the challenges for producing skillful multi-year predictions with state-of-the-art earth system models
- Construct a framework to identify user requirements for multi-year predictions that will help inform predictability research and model development
- Identify knowledge gaps, determine future research direction and foster new initiatives and collaborations by bringing together research, operational, and applications community
- Assess specific observational needs for improving multi-year predictions that are not currently met
- Identify prototype applications of multi-year forecasts and assess their utility
