Dr Pook, who is headquartered in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, adds, 'Weather forecasting models used by meteorological and research agencies can provide excellent forecasts of individual synoptic systems for up to 10 days."
"On seasonal time-scales and longer, climate models can only predict the average behaviour of weather systems because of computer and data limitations and the effect of chaos.'
He concludes by saying: "However, these climate models are known to have problems in accurately simulating blocking location, frequency and intensity and hence improved treatment of the blocking and cutting-off mechanisms in numerical models is critically important if progress is to made in seasonal climate prediction and in climate change projections.'
