S2S sub-seasonal to seasonal multi-model and multi-member real-time forecasts of a wide range of meteorological variables

The Sub-seasonal to Seasonal (S2S) prediction project is a joint initiative of the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). The goal of S2S is to improve the forecast skill and understanding on the sub-seasonal to seasonal timescale, and to promote its uptake by operational centers and exploitation by the applications community.
