2 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 1 Operational QPF Verification of End Products and NWP Pertti Nurmi Finnish Meteorological Institute WMO / WWRP QPF Verification Workshop, Prague, 14-16 May 2001

3 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 2 “State-of-the-Art” Operational Verification u Provide instant feedback to forecasters u Enable comparison of individual forecast(er)s vs. observations u Produce comprehensive statistics of the quality of End Products u Produce comprehensive statistics of guidance forecasts ( e.g. NWP) u Produce statistics of individual forecasters - personal biases etc. u Utilize a comprehensive set of tailored verification measures u Provide simplified verification statistics for the general public, the customers, the decision makers

4 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 3 Operational “online” Verification, Features Web user-interface for forecast input + visualization of results Running on a UNIX platform, interaction via Perl scripts Operational in real-time in the CFO and the 3 RO’s Covers all predicted End Product weather parameters: temperature, precipitation, cloudiness, wind Covers historical data of CFO End Products since 1979 NWP results (HIRLAM, ECMWF) included for comparison Input consistent with operational public / customer forecasts Used for official monitoring of the forecast quality of FMI

43 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 42 Operational QPF Verification of End Products and NWP The end of the story by Pertti Nurmi

44 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 43 Hypothesis: The quality of End Products is expected to increase gradually after implementation of an Operational “online” Verification System … unless you’re re-organizing the Weather Service - like FMI, 1996 “Percent correct” forecasts

45 P. Ñurmi / 15-05-2001 WWRP QPF Verification - Prague 44 Hypothesis: The quality of End Products is expected to increase gradually after implementation of an Operational “online” Verification System … returning back to normal life with the best score ever “Percent correct” forecasts
