CP and CH were aggregated for the November-December-January-February (NDJF) season, across various lead times spanning from 1993 to 2015. The first row includes CP forecasts at lead times of (a) 1-month, b 1–4-months, (c) 2–5-months, and (d) 3–6-months. The second row contains CH forecasts at lead times of (e) 1-month, (f) 1–4-months, (g) 2–5-months, and (h) 3–6-months. The multimodel includes NCEP’s CFSv2, CMCC’s SPSv3, UKMO’s GloSea6-GC3.2, ECMWF’s SEAS5 and CCCma’s CanCM4. Only statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation is shown here.
