Combined dynamical-deep learning ENSO forecasts.

ABSTRACT: Improving the prediction skill of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is of critical importance for society. Over the past half-century, significant improvements have been made in ENSO prediction. Recent studies have shown that deep learning (DL) models can substantially improve the prediction skill of ENSO compared to individual dynamical models. However, effectively integrating the strengths of both DL and dynamical models to further improve ENSO prediction skill remains a critical topic for in-depth investigations. Here, we show that these DL forecasts, including those using the Convolutional Neural Networks and 3D-Geoformer, offer comparable ENSO forecast skill to dynamical forecasts that are based on the dynamic-model mean. More importantly, we introduce a combined dynamical-DL foreca
