J1.2 Verification of Supercell Motion Forecasting Techniques
Several storm motion prediction methods have attained widespread operational and research use, the most common being Maddox (1976) variations which apply a 30 rightward and 75 percent of mean wind assumption (hereafter 30R75), a 15 rightward and 85 percent of mean wind assumption (adapted from Johns et al. 1993; hereafter 15R85), and more recently the Bunkers et al. (2000; hereafter Bunkers) al...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Refined Supercell and Tornado Forecast Parameters
This note updates a previous study that utilized a baseline climatology of soundings associated with large hail, significant tornadoes, and 10 or more cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from 1992. Expanding on the earlier analysis, it is shown that three modified forecast parameters have more value in distinguishing between environments that favor significant tornadoes and those that favor large...
متن کاملGeneralized Forecast Errors, A Change of Measure, and Forecast Optimality
This paper establishes properties of optimal forecasts under general loss functions, extending existing results obtained under speci c functional forms and data generating processes. We propose a new method that changes the probability measure under which the well-known properties of optimal forecasts under mean squared error loss can be recovered. We illustrate the proposed methods through an ...
متن کاملForecast Errors in Service Systems
We investigate the presence and impact of forecast errors in the arrival rate of customers to a service system. Analysis of a large dataset shows that forecast errors can be large relative to the fluctuations naturally expected in a Poisson process. We show that ignoring forecast errors typically leads to overestimates of performance and that forecast errors of the magnitude seen in our dataset...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Recent Macroeconomic Forecast Errors
D espite a significant decline in the pace of economic growth in the second half of 2000, macroeconomic forecasters underpredicted real GDP growth and overpredicted the unemployment rate by a significant amount, for the fifth consecutive year. On average, real GDP forecasts were about 2 percentage points below the actual data for the 1996-2000 period, and unemployment rate forecasts about 0.5 p...
