Verification experiments at Comox / W.L. Ranahan.: En57-44/79-017E-PDF
"Verification of terminal or other forecasts has been a difficult task due to the limitations of the various verification methods to day, and the problems in interpretation once results are obtained. The discussion by Reid in a recent edition of Atmosphere-Ocean encouraged some meteorologists to experiment with the Ranked Probability Score (RPS). ... Another paper presented at the Conference on Weather Forecasting and Analysis and Aviation Meteorology, Silver Spring, Md. in October 1978, dealt with the verification of weather watches and severe storms in the U.S. This method by Charba and Burnham was adapted at Comox for a single station forecast of significant weather events and the verification of the same. Results of the two experiments are discussed."
