Communicating Predictive Skill Through Recent Advances in MET

Robust testing and evaluation of research innovations is a critical component of the Research-to-Operations (R2O) process and is performed for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) by the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC). At the foundation of the DTC testing and evaluation (T&E) system is the Model Evaluation Tools (MET). MET is a state-of-the-science verification package supported to the community through the DTC. The verification team is working with the Next Generation Global Prediction System (NGGPS) and external research community to enhance MET. This poster will update the community on recent MET advancements in verification capability made available to the community through releases.
