2008 Verification Data

2008 Verification Statistics - Click to enlarge


The above chart shows the verification numbers from all the river forecasts issued for daily forecast points within the ABRFC from January 2008 through December 2008. For each month in this period, the average RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) in feet of all the daily forecast points is listed; the QPF RMSE, the non-QPF RMSE, and finally a RMSE for Persistence. Persistence assumes no skill in forecasting; ie...the current stage is forecast for all periods. Below are graphs to view verification data for individual daily forecast points for each month.

All River Forecast Centers in NWS Southern Region perform similar categorical forecast verification. Click here to view statistics across all RFC's.
