Verification of Ensemble Track Forecasts of Tropical Cyclones During 2014

ABSTRACT: The track forecasts of five ensemble prediction systems (JMA-WEPS, CMA-GEFS, ECMWF-EPS, NCEP-GEFS and MSC-CENS, respectively) in 2014 are evaluated in this paper. First, on the assumption of bivariate normal distribution, a probability ellipse based on ensemble spread is proposed to repres...
