Seasonal forecasting has traditionally been modeled using complex dynamical models, rather than statistical methods, often called general circulation models (GCMs). However, seasonal variations, such as those due to El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and polar vortices, are difficult to predict using traditional methods. ML and deep learning can improve our forecasting of multi-year ENSO events [1][2][3][4][5] and polar vortices[6].
