In flatness: Indices and Tests for Assessing the Flatness of (Rank) Histograms

Description Usage Format Details Source

This is a data set containing the forecasts of five ensemble weather prediction models for two-meter temperature from March, 2019 to March, 2021.

ensembles

A named list with five entries, each containing a data.table with 731 rows and a varying number of columns (depending on the number of members).

date_run: initial condition date (with format YYYY-MM-DD)
latitude: latitude of the forecast location (in degrees)
longitude: longitude of the forecast location (in degrees)
1 ... M: member forecast (M members) in Kelvins
T: the measured two-meter air temperature in Kelvins

The five ensemble models are named CWAO (20 perturbed members, from ECCC), DEMS (11 perturbed members, from NCMRWF), ECMF (50 members, from ECMWF), EGRR (17 perturbed members, from UKMO) and RKSL (24 perturbed members, from KMA).

The forecasts are the ones at the nearest grid point to Toulouse-Blagnac station (France) in the TIGGE dataset. The observation is the two-meter height temperature measured at this same station, at 06UTC. The forecast initial time is 00UTC, with a 30 hour lead-time.
