Evaluating a Storm Tracking Algorithm
Valliappa Lakshmanan, CIMMS/Univ. of Oklahoma, NOAA/NSSL, Norman, OK; and T. M. Smith
Storm tracking algorithms have been evaluated either indirectly based on
fields advected using their motion vectors or by validating each association
decision in a labor-intensive manner. In this paper, we introduce
three bulk statistics that are measures of mismatch error, jumps
and of duration. These statistics allow us to rank commonly proposed
association heuristics (centroid projection, overlap, cost functions, etc.)
and choose a good storm tracking approach.
