Decider_vs_NAO_regime_forecasts

Timeseries of Decider regime and NAO forecasts for both ERA5 and a 50-member IFS ensemble. Covers the years 1980-2015, NDJF only. Leap years are removed so each NDJF is precisely 120 days. Each timeseries is thus 120*36=4320 steps long. 

This data supports the manuscript submitted to Meteorological Applications titled "Balancing informativity and predictability in weather regime forecasts: a case study of energy demand in Great Britain", by Kristian Strommen, Hannah Christensen and Hannah Bloomfield. For further details, see this paper.

We gratefully acknowledge the UK Met Office for help computing the 30 Decider regime timeseries, and ECMWF for help generating the IFS ensemble forecast.
