THE VALUE OF STATIC AND TREND PERSISTENCE IN THE ONE-HOUR PREDICTION OF CEILING AND VISIBILITY

Abstract

The paper describes some of the various applications of persistence by different meteorological agencies; identifies certain areas of confusion clarifies the definition of the general term 'persistence;' and presents a full- scale statistical evaluation of static and trend persistence based upon the period of record at seven terminals. The results of this evaluation provide a reliable estimate of the value of static and trend persistence in the one-hour prediction of ceiling and visibility.
