Ensemble initialization of the oceanic component of a coupled model through bred vectors at seasonal-to-interannual timescales

We evaluate the ensemble spread at seasonal-to-interannual timescales for two perturbation techniques implemented in the ocean component of a coupled model: (1) lagged initial conditions as commonly used for decadal predictions; (2) bred vectors as commonly used for weather and seasonal forecasting....
