Verification of Redeveloped Eta MOS Guidance


Verification scores were computed for several elements for the new Eta MOS guidance that will be implemented in February 2004.

Scores were computed by using 0000 UTC test forecasts from the 2002/2003 cool season (October - March)
for approximately 300 sites in the contiguous United States.
