Numerical Weather Prediction
Initialization/Forecast Evaluation
Initialization and
Verification Domains
-
There are five initialization
domains in which error statistics are calculated. The numbers by which
they are identified correspond to the numbers on the maps below:
-
For each model run, the
initial fields (00h forecast) are validated on these spatial domains.
-
There are also five domains
in which forecast error statistics are calculated (06 hr and 12 hr forecasts).
The numbers by which they are identified correspond to the numbers below:
-
For each model run, the
forecast fields (06h and 12h forecasts) are validated on these spatial
domains.
