SpatialVx (version 1.0-2)

Spatial Forecast Verification

Description

Spatial forecast verification refers to verifying weather forecasts when the verification set (forecast and observations) is on a spatial field, usually a high-resolution gridded spatial field. Most of the functions here require the forecast and observed fields to be gridded and on the same grid. For a thorough review of most of the methods in this package, please see Gilleland et al. (2009) and for a tutorial on some of the main functions available here, see Gilleland (2022) .
