A new study from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) claims to have found out decadal prediction skills for the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) to enable monsoon forecast for the next 5-10 years in advance.
It was found that the two models show significant prediction skills for up to 10 years.
The models are MIROC5 from Japan and CanCM4 from Canada
The IOD (also known as the Indian Nino) is an irregular oscillation of sea-surface temperatures.
