HFIP Regional Ensemble Call Audio = Passcode = # 16 September UTC
Tools for measuring overall NWP improvement, forecast skill of HFIP regional ensemble output. Accuracy of ensemble mean track Accuracy of ensemble mean intensity Correlation of ensemble track spread to ensemble mean track error Correlation of ensemble intensity spread to ensemble mean intensity error Reliability of probabilistic intensity forecasts (Talagrand)? Continuous Rank Probability Score (CRPS) for intensity forecasts? Area under the ROC curve for intensity forecasts? Structure (Veren et. al.)? HFIP Regional Ensemble Metrics
Tools for measuring goodness of ensemble for use in data assimilation. Ratio of ensemble variance to ensemble forecast error variance (how big is alpha, re: need for inflation?) Size of radius of influence (is it 2-3x the forecast error scales?) Estimate sampling error (how to do this?) Tools for measuring impact on forecasters from HFIP regional ensemble output.
