Analog model
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003492
A forecasting model that operates by searching historical records for past atmospheric or oceanic states that closely resemble the current observed conditions. Once a suitable analog is found, its subsequent evolution is used as a prediction for the current situation. This approach is often applied in seasonal climate prediction.
