| 1 | COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCE OF VARIOUS MULTIPLE-MODEL ENSEMBLE TECHNIQUES IN FORECASTING INTENSITY OF TROPICAL CYCLONE显示文摘The objective of this study was to explore an optimal multiple-model ensemble technique to aid the forecasting of tropical cyclone(TC) intensity. The maximum winds of TCs as forecast by the models of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, the Japan Meteorological Agency and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction for the period from July 2010 to October 2011 were studied. Performance of various multiple-model ensemble techniques, including equally weighted ensemble, weighted ensemble based on initial forecast error, weighted ensemble based on 12-hour forecast error, bias-corrected equally weighted ensemble and bias-corrected weighted ensemble based on initial forecast error, was verified against the TC intensities post-analysed by the Hong Kong Observatory. Results showed that the equally weighted ensemble technique generally outperformed the best of the individual models and other multiple-model ensemble techniques. The mean absolute errors of the equally weighted ensemble technique were the lowest at 12, 24 and 36-hour forecasts, and the error spreads were generally the smallest from 12 to 72-hour forecasts. | NURSALLEH K.CHANG L.S.LEE Y.S.LI | 2012 | Tropical Cyclone Research and Review2012，1，3： | 0 |
