Verification of weather and seasonal forecasts, as well as the statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal description of forecast and observed fields, are necessary to improve on our understanding of the capabilities of models to describe future atmospheric states. This paper shows examples of recent successes of weather and seasonal forecasts, and shows results of CCA analysis on model fields and how they relate to the oberved data.
