The Bureau of Meteorology in Australia is working on improving their seasonal streamflow forecasts by developing a new method that allows for forecasts to be released earlier. By using daily streamflow and sea surface temperatures, they are able to make predictions up to 21 days in advance. The new system shows that forecast accuracy decreases slightly as the lead time increases, but overall, it can provide valuable information to users before the start of the forecast season. This advancement could help users better prepare for potential changes in streamflow and make more informed decisions based on the forecasts.
