The lecture will describe the distinction and the scientific underpinnings for weather and climate prediction. Specific examples will include El Nino, persistent drought in the western US, decadal climate variability and climate change. Dr. Kirtman will comment on the current advances in climate prediction and prospects for the development of improved predictive capability, critical in agriculture and resource management.
