Abstract |
Dr Steve Woolnough is a Principal Research Fellow in the Climate directorate of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, and leads their Tropical Group. His interests are in the variability of the Tropical Climate System on intraseasonal to seasonal timescales, and the representation of the tropical climate system in weather and climate prediction models. He is a member of three international panels of the WMO including the Steering Group of their sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction project. Dr Woolnough will discuss the current state of climate modelling and introduce some of the uncertainties in prediction of regional climate change, and the opportunities to narrow these uncertainties. He will also discuss the current state of sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction and introduce the WCRP/WWRP Sub-seasonal Prediction Project, a new WMO project to promote research into and application of operational prediction systems.

Abstract |
Crop models are important tools for impact assessment of climate change, as well as for exploring management options under current climate. It is essential to evaluate the uncertainty associated with predictions of these models. Several ways of quantifying prediction uncertainty have been explored in the literature, but there have been no studies of how the different approaches are related to one another, and how they are related to some overall measure of prediction uncertainty. Here we show that all the different approaches can be related to two different viewpoints about the model; either the model is treated as a fixed predictor with some average error, or the model can be treated as a random variable with uncertainty in one or more of model structure, model inputs and model parameters. We discuss the differences, and show how mean squared error of prediction can be estimated in both cases. The results can be used to put uncertainty estimates into a more general framework and to relate different uncertainty estimates to one another and to overall prediction uncertainty. This should lead to a better understanding of crop model prediction uncertainty and the underlying causes of that uncertainty. This study was published as (Wallach et al. 2016) |

Abstract |
This reports sets out an outline approach to create definitions of uncertainty and how it might be classified. This is not a prescriptive approach rather it should be seen as a starting point from which further development can be made by consensus with CropM partners and across MACSUR Themes. We propose both a numerical quantification of uncertainty and text based classification scheme. The rational is to be able to both establish the terms and definitions in quantifying the impact of uncertainty on model estimates and have a scheme to enable identification of connectivity between types and sources of uncertainty. The aim is to establish a common set of terms and structure within which they operate that can be used to guide work within CropM. No Label |

Abstract |
It is of major importance in modeling to understand and quantify the uncertainty in model predictions, both in order to know how much confidence to have in those predictions, and as a first step toward model improvement. Here we show that there are basically three different approaches to evaluating uncertainty, and we explain the advantages and drawbacks of each. This is a necessary first step toward developing protocols for evaluation of uncertainty and so obtaining a clearer picture of the reliability of crop models. No Label |
