  1. Comparison of different EPS postprocessing methods Pierre Eckert Ralf Kretschmar MétéoSuisse

  2. EFI LEPS ECMWF Medium range model “does” generate severe weather events: forecast/observed frequency ratio (FBI)

  3. Three „rescaling / downscaling“ techniques for extreme events • Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) • rescale with respect to model climate • LEPS • downscale ensemble with a LAM • Artificial neural Network (ANN) • pattern recognition of extreme situations with respect to a given meteorological parameter (precipitation)

  4. Verification: scores • Forecasted : Index / prob > given threshold • Hit Rate = A / (A+C) • FAR = B / (A+B)

  5. EFI verification: Switzerland South

  6. Predictors for the Neural Network

  7. ANN upper air + precip DMO Rainfall Lugano Rescaled DMO (T511) FFNN + precip DMO

  8. Conclusions • Forecasting of rare events requests special treatment • Downscaling / rescaling • Hit rate is usable • False Alarm Rate must be optimised • DMO, EFI, LEPS, ANN have each their own qualities • The chalenge for the LEPS is to reach the upper left corner of the hit rate false alarm rate diagram (above the diagonal).

  9. Instability indices • Produced on all grid points • Should be evalueted • The following figures give an example of one case
