A new weakly coupled data assimilation (CDA) system based on the dimension-reduced projection four-dimensional variational data assimilation (DRP-4DVar) with a simplified off-line localization technique and a fully coupled model, i.e., the Grid-point Version 2 of Flexible Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System Model (FGOALS-g2), was developed for the initialization of decadal predictions. A 1-month assimilation window was adopted for the CDA system, in which monthly mean temperature and salinity analyses were assimilated along the trajectory of the coupled model during the initialization for the period of 1945-2006. The system is efficient because the 62-year initialization only takes about 2.375 times of the time cost of the uninitialized run for the same period. Compared with the uninitialized simulation and the initialization without localization, ocean temperature and salinity, sea surface elevation, surface air temperature, and precipitation are in better agreement with the verification data. Furthermore, climate variabilities in the Pacific and Atlantic regions such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) are more realistically captured. Starting from the initial conditions (ICs) generated by the initialization, 10-member ensemble decadal prediction experiments were conducted each year from 1961 to 1996. The results demonstrate that higher decadal prediction skills of surface air temperature anomalies averaged over the globe, ocean, land, and the North Pacific subpolar gyre are achieved than those obtained from persistence, the uninitialized simulation, and the prediction initialized from the ICs without localization. Besides, PDO and AMO indices exhibit significant correlation skills in most lead times.
