weather: Pressure and temperature forecast errors over the Pacific Northwest
Description
Meteorological dataset, which consists of difference between forecasts
and observations (forcasts minus observations) of temperature and
pressure at 157 locations in the North American Pacific Northwest.source
The data were obtained from Cliff Mass and Jeff Baars in the University
of Washington Department of Atmospheric Sciences.Details
The forecasts are from the GFS member of the University of Washington
regional numerical weather prediction ensemble (UWME; Grimit and Mass
2002; Eckel and Mass 2005); they were valid on December 18, 2003 at 4 pm
local time, at a forecast horizon of 48 hours.References
