摘要

Merging forecasts from multiple models has the potential to combine the strengths of individual models and to better represent forecast uncertainty than the use of a single model. This study develops a Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method for merging forecasts from multiple models, giving greater weights to better performing models. The study aims for a BMA method that is capable of producing relatively stable weights in the presence of significant sampling variability, leading to robust forecasts for future events. The BMA method is applied to merge forecasts from multiple statistical models for seasonal rainfall forecasts over Australia using climate indices as predictors. It is shown that the fully merged forecasts effectively combine the best skills of the models to maximize the spatial coverage of positive skill. Overall, the skill is low for the first half of the year but more positive for the second half of the year. Models in the Pacific group contribute the most skill, and models in the Indian and extratropical groups also produce useful and sometimes distinct skills. The fully merged probabilistic forecasts are found to be reliable in representing forecast uncertainty spread. The forecast skill holds well when forecast lead time is increased from 0 to 1 month. The BMA method outperforms the approach of using a model with two fixed predictors chosen a priori and the approach of selecting the best model based on predictive performance.
