  5. Verification of COSMO forecasts against the own and the analysis of ECMWF UD

  6. Conclusions: • Verification against analysis may lead to useful results if: • Forecast times are greater than about 24 hours. • Analysis schemes of the models to be compared have nearly the same properties. • Otherwise: • Numbers are calculated - but no results! • Results concerning the use of averaged fields could be expected. • When using a new climatology changes in long term time series concerning the anomaly correlation coefficient should be mentioned an interpreted.
