Tutorial Session: December 1-3, Scientific Workshop: December 5-7
The 5th International Verification Methods Workshop will highlight recent advances in the theory and practice of verification of weather and climate forecasts worldwide. The workshop welcomes participants from operational, research, and forecast user communities to discuss how to more effectively measure and convey the accuracy and utility of forecasts and warnings.
The workshop will include both a tutorial session (December 1-3) and a scientific program (December 5-7). The scientific workshop will include keynote addresses as well as contributed talks and posters on new verification techniques and issues related to the practice of forecast verification.
Topics will include:
• Verification of high impact weather forecasts and warnings
• Verification of ensembles and probability forecasts
• Spatial forecast verification
• Climate projection evaluation
• Seasonal forecast verification
• Tropical cyclone verification
• Aviation forecast verification
• Propagation of uncertainty
• User issues including communicating verification to decision makers
• Verification tools
