Verification
Testing and evaluation of forecasts is a critical component of their development. Improvements can be made by evaluating forecast products throughout the development process as deficiencies are discovered. Verification is also beneficial to forecasters and end users because verification findings supply them with objective data about the quality or accuracy of the forecasts, which can feed into decision processes (Brown, 1996).
The DTC verification team supports testing and evaluation activities by providing open source community software and support. The MET software package provides capability to do traditional, spatial, or tropical cyclone verification.
