Extracting useful predictability from the Dynamic Extended Range Forecasting (DERF) time range, two weeks to two months, is not easy.
This is a “dry patch” for predictability (D. Burridge, ECMWF)

Some opportunities for DERF
 
·     Understand the feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere that make coupled anomalies last longer
 
·     Develop better strategies for coupling in the week to intraseasonal range: AMIP runs are not “the best possible results”
 
·     Exploit the regularity of the Madden-Julian Oscillations to increase skill of intraseasonal predictions
