ON THE USE OF INTERNAL CORRELATION FUNCTIONS FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSE

Abstract

The simple barotropic model of the atmosphere has proven to be a very useful tool in present methods for numerical weather forecasting, while more complicated models (2 or more parameters) have not increased the forecast accuracy significantly. In summarizing our capability to forecast for one or two days particularly winds for aviation purposes conventional measures are not sufficient. A method for computing the average forecast error in a flight path as a function of the accuracy of the forecast has therefore been developed. (Author)
