Better Forecasts. Better Decisions.

The Earth System Prediction Lab studies weather and climate variability and predictability with the goal of improving forecasts in the extended range from 2-weeks to several years.  We are particularly interested in improving forecasts for high impact, hazardous and extreme weather.  We use initialized predictions from global weather and climate models and statistical and machine learning methodologies combined with our expert knowledge of the physical climate system.

​We are located in the School of Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma
