  • [meteorology] quality of forcast models

    From Michael Uplawski@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 22 10:55:54 2024
    Good morning

    My attempt to discuss the quality of meteorological models in a
    German speaking newsgroup de.sci.geo >1 has not been successful.

    I began this morning to document what I call a total failure
    2.

    When you do office work, you are probably not aware of the trouble
    that wrong forecasts can create. What I wish is something halfway
    reliable as regards rain and wind. I do not care much for the amount
    of rain, but I do a lot for the wind-speeds.

    All models that I have access to, are failing. I am obliged to
    prepare for just any situation when I go to work outside and
    oftentimes must organise the day differently. Imagine that you move
    a working platform at 6km/h maximal speed when an unexpected CB
    chases you. I do not like that.

    The models that I know for now are GFS, WRF, AROME, IconD2, IconEu,
    ARPEGE.

    There has been some talk lately of using AI to extend
    the length of accuracy of forecasts. Perhaps someone
    else on this newsgroup knows more about that than
    I do; I’m a geophysicist, not a meteorologist.

    I have been a little sick and lost my motivation. The site had not
    been updated as often, as I would like to.

    But after a considerable time that I scrutinize the forecasts by
    IconD2, IiconEU and WRF, I believe that these are the only models
    worth consulting. WRF is sitll much too optimistic as regards
    clould-layers and rain, but otherwise quite reliable.

    My absolute favorite is however IconD2.

    Once you compared IconD2 a few times to Arome or GFS, the latter
    become ridiculous.
