The Spatial Patterns of Initial Errors Related to the ˇ°Winter Predictability Barrierˇ± of the Indian Ocean Dipole
FENG Rong1,2, DUAN Wan-Suo1,*
Figure 3 The anomaly correlation coefficients ACCs between IOD index of 10 positive IOD events and that of predicted IOD events with initial errors superimposed for different start months and lead times. The contour interval is 0.1. The five-month running mean is used to remove the effect of the intraseasonal timescale. The ACCs significant at 0.05 level are colored.
