Scorecards: Temperature, RH, and Wind Speed


Scorecards provide a consolidated way to provide an overview over the model performance with respect to specified metrics, variables, levels, thresholds, regions, lead times, etc. In the example below, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean error (bias) of temperature, relative humidity and winds for Suite 2 is compared against Suite 1. The cell is indicated with a green symbol (the level of significance indicated by the type of symbol) if Suite 2 is favored over Suite 1 with statistical significance, and vice versa for a red symbol. Results are stratified by forecast lead time and regional domain.
