EFI: definition • Scores and verification • Precipitations • Wind gust • Conclusion
p Ff(p)
An Extreme Forecast Index • Takes values from –1 (all members break climate minimum records) and +1 (all beyond climate maximum records) • For a single value (e.g. deterministic) forecast with climate rank Q: EFI3=(Q-50%) [1+4(Q-50%)2] Q=95%, EFI3=0.81 Q=98%, EFI3=0.92 Q=99%, EFI3=0.96
Verification parameters (1) • Precipitations (nov.2001-apr.2003) • Predictands: 2nd max prec. / 24h of climatological regions (W, E, S) • Predictors: EFI max over regions • Thresholds • 10 mm/24h • 20 mm/24h • 50 mm/24h
Verification parameters (2) • Gusts (nov.2001-apr.2003) • Predictands: 2nd max gust / 24h of climatological regions (W, E ) • Predictors: • EFI max over regions • EFI max over all the domain (45-48.5°N; 5-11.5°E) • Thresholds • 50 km/h • 75 km/h • 100 km/h
Verification: scores • Forecasted : EFI gt given value • Hit Rate = A / (A+C) • FAR = B / (A+B)
Precipitations : Switzerland West Hit = 0,5 EFI = 0,3 T+66h EFI = 0,2 T+90h EFI = 0,2 T+114
Gusts : Switzerland West 50km/h 75km/h
Gusts : Switzerland West 50km/h 75km/h
