Distortion representation of forecast errors for model skill assessment and objective analysis [microform] : a final report for NAS 5-32953 submitted to: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771, for the period: 18 August 1995 - 17 August 1998 / submitted by Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc., Dr. Ross N. Hoffman, principal investigator, [Thomas Nehrkorn, and Christopher Grassotti.

"We proposed a novel characterization of errors for numerical weather predictions. A general distortion representation allows for the displacement and amplification or bias correction of forecast anomalies. Characterizing and decomposing forecast error in this way has several important applicat...
