A new global coupled atmosphere-ocean forecast system model (CFS03) has recently been developed at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The new coupled model consists of a T62L64 version of the operational NCEP Atmospheric Global Forecast System model and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Modular Ocean Model version 3, and is expected to replace the current NCEP operational coupled seasonal forecast model. This study assesses the performance of the new coupled model in simulating, El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). which is considered to be a desirable feature for models used for seasonal prediction. The diagnoses indicate that the new coupled model simulates ENSO variability with realistic frequency. The amplitude of the simulated ENSO is similar to that of the observed strong events, but the ENSO events in the simulation occur more regularly than in observations. The model correctly simulates the observed ENSO seasonal phase locking with the peak amplitude near the end of the year. On average, however, simulated warm events tend to start about 3 months earlier and persist longer than observed. The simulated ENSO is consistent with the delayed oscillator, recharge oscillator, and advective-reffective oscillator theories, suggesting that each of these mechanisms may operate at the same time during the ENSO cycle. The diagnoses of the simulation indicate that the model may be suitable for real-time prediction of ENSO.
