Using Network Theory and Machine Learning to predict El Niño (1803.10076v2)

Published 27 Mar 2018 in physics.ao-ph

Abstract: The skill of current predictions of the warm phase of the El Ni~no Southern Oscillation (ENSO) reduces significantly beyond a lag of six months. In this paper, we aim to increase this prediction skill at lags up to one year. The new method to do so combines a classical Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average technique with a modern machine learning approach (through an Artificial Neural Network). The attributes in such a neural network are derived from topological properties of Climate Networks and are tested on both a Zebiak-Cane-type model and observations. For predictions up to six months ahead, the results of the hybrid model give a better skill than the CFSv2 ensemble prediction by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Moreover, results for a twelve month lead time prediction have a similar skill as the shorter lead time predictions.
