Abstract:In this paper,we introduce the trend of research and progress in air-sea couple d model(ASCM) in at home and aboard recently,and synthetically analyze the coup ling schemes and forecasting experiments for different coupled models.Meanwhile ,the development of ASCM and the relative problem influencing the ASCM forecast ability are investigated in this aspects such as ENSO prediction ability,the com posite and classification,the climate drift,the characteristics of coupling sche me,and seasonal,annual and decadal prediction ability,and so on.Reviewed in the paper are the research advance and development of the air-sea coupled models(ASCM) in recent years with their coupling schemes and forecasting experiments anal ysed.Comments are also made on the ENSO prediction,ASCM classification,climate frift,coupling schemes and models' prediction to seasonal,interannual and interde cadal variation.
