Evaluation of a Method for Short-Range Forecasting of Evaporation Duct Heights.

Abstract

A method for forecasting evaporation duct heights over periods of three to twelve hours is evaluated by comprising skill and threat scores to persistance scores. Although the evaluation of data from two ocean weather stations in the North Atlantic reveals an apparent advantage of the forecast method over persistance, an analysis of variance shows no statistically significant differences between the two sets of scores.
