Some Challenges • Alternative ways to evaluate Post-Processor integral equation to relax bivariate normality assumption that I used to get started? • Can we adjust individual ESP traces (preserving temporal scale-dependent uncertainty) by using a cascade approach to apply multiple window applications of the product-based postprocessor? • Multi-model applications?
