Abstract:
Nowcast model assessment involves applying model verification techniques to generate error statistics to improve model performance and the accuracy of forecasts produced by US Army Research Laboratorys nowcast model, Weather Running Estimate-Nowcast WRE-N. This report documents the design and implementation of the automated process of generating domain-level error statistics that can be used by modelers to improve the accuracy of WRE-N model forecasts. This process allows multiple user configurations, and produces a controlled data structure that could be easily used in data analysis and the evaluation of model improvements.
