Operational low flow forecasts Page 34 Verification of Ensemble forecasting in the Rhine basin •Several statistics commonly applied in verification of probabilistic forecasts were used • the Brier (Skill) Score, • the Ranked Probability • (Skill) Score • verification diagrams • Relative Operating Characteristic • Attributes diagram. Operational low flow forecasts Page 35 Verification of Ensemble forecasting in the Rhine basin - Results • At low flows it is shown that the ensemble forecasts are a reliable indicator, with a high forecast skill for long lead times. • For the smaller catchments the skill of the ensemble forecast was clearly shown to deteriorate faster than in the larger catchments. • In all cases the ensemble forecast were demonstrated to have positive skill, meaning that there is utility in using ensemble in forecasting for the Rhine basin. Operational low flow forecasts Page 36 Verification of Ensemble forecasting in the Rhine basin - Results • The period over which the ensembles have been verified is limited, with few events of significance occurring in the Rhine basin. As a result the skill in predicting rare events for which the forecasting system has been constructed has not been assessed, but can only be inferred on the results found for the evaluation period. • Relatively short period for which the COSMO-LEPS ensemble is currently available => Repeat the analysis in 1 to 1½ years when a more substantial set of ensembles is available, and if available a larger number of (extreme) events Operational low flow forecasts Page 37 Thank you for your attention !
