EFI verification Verification of Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) for precipitation (left) and 10m wind (right) over Europe. Trend in annual performance (ROC area) from 2004 to 2010 for day 2 (blue) and day 5 (red). Extreme event is taken as an observation exceeding 95th percentile of station climate. Hit rates and false alarm rates are calculated for EFI exceeding different thresholds. TAC 42 Verification 2010

Proposed headline scores for 2011-2020 Lead time until which the Z500 hPa ACC for the deterministic FC over the extra-tropical N.Hem remains above 80% (verification against analysis). Primary Lead time until which the CRPSS for the EPS FC of T850 hPa over the extra-tropical N.Hem remains above 25% (verification against analysis). Primary Lead time until which the SEEPS skill for the deterministic FC of 24-hour precipitation over the extra-tropics remains above 45% (verification against station observations). Supplementary Lead time until which the CRPSS for the EPS FC of 24-hour precipitation over the extra-tropics remains above 10% (verification against station observations).
