Climatic Forecast System

A climatic forecast system for generating an optimized forecast, the system comprising:

• a computer including a processor and a storage unit;
• means for remotely acquiring digital data via a digital network, said digital data including observations and at least one model digital forecast;
• and
• means for hybrid forecasting, including,
• means for inputting said observations, said at least one model digital forecast, and first forecast data,
• means for hybrid forecasting adapted to process said observations, said at least one model digital forecast, and to apply at least one of a statistical model, a simple general circulation model, and a multi-model synthesis algorithm to said first forecast data, and
• means for outputting at least one hybrid forecast.
