Ensemble Construction and Verification of the Probabilistic ENSO Prediction in the LDEO5 Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) retrospective ensemble-based probabilistic predictions were performed for the period of 1856–2003 using the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, version 5 (LDEO5), model. To obtain more reliable and skillful ENSO probabilistic predictions, first, four ensemble construction strategies were investigated: (i) the optimal initial perturbation with singular vector of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), (ii) the realistic high-frequency anomalous winds, (iii) the stochastic optimal pattern of anomalous winds, and (iv) a combination of the first and the third strategy. Second, verifications were conducted to examine the reliability and resolution of the probabilistic forecasts provided by the four methods. Results suggest that reliability of ENSO probabilistic forecast is more sensitive to the choice of ensemble construction strategy than the resolution, and a reliable and skillful ENSO probabilistic prediction system may not necessarily have the best deterministic prediction skills. Among these ensemble construction methods, the fourth strategy produces the most reliable and skillful ENSO probabilistic prediction, benefiting from the joint contributions of the stochastic optimal winds and the singular vector of SSTA. In particular, the stochastic optimal winds play an important role in improving the ENSO probabilistic predictability for the LDEO5 model.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
