Overview of meteoblue model domains
(status March 2015)
Global domains are not shown.

Why a “learning multi-model”? Higher skill than single model.
10
Left: Verification scores of 9000 stations for the global 25-48 hour precipitation forecast. Heidke Skill Score (HSS), False Alarm Ratio and Probability of detection for precipitation events of more than
1mm in 24 hours. NEMS-Global (blue), ECMWF (white), meteoblue multi-model (light blue). A good forecast should have a large Heidke Skill score, or a low false alarm ratio in combination with a
high probability of detection. The false alarm ratio indicates the percentage of forecasts when rain was forecast but no rain was observed for that particular day. The probability of detection
indicates the percentage of observed precipitation days that were forecast to have precipitation. A perfect forecast has a HSS of 1.0, false alarm Rate of 0% and a probability of detection of 100%.
Right: Heidke skill score distribution of the new precipitation forecast for events of >1mm in 24 hours for forecast hours 25-48
