Description:
Forecasts of zonal wind fields produced by the medium-range forecast model of the U.S. National Meteorological Center are used to create predictions of the atmosphere's angular momentum at lead times of 1-10 days. The skill of these forecasts, which are of interest to those concerned with monitoring changes in the length-of-day for navigational purposes, is assessed, and the regions in the atmosphere that contribute most importantly to forecast errors are identified.
