In this task, we'll look at the difference between the forecast and the analysis by using "root-mean-square error" (RMSE) curves as a way of summarising the performance of the forecast. Root-mean square error curves are a standard measure to determine forecast error compared to the analysis and several of the exercises will use them. The RMSE is computed by taking the square root of the mean of the forecast difference:

Mathinline
RMSE = \sqrt{ 1/N \sum{ (forecast - analysis)^2 } }
where N is the total number of gridpoints.

 

Using the hres_rmse.mv icon, right-click, select 'Edit' and plot the RMSE curves for MSLP (mean-sea-level pressure). Repeat for the 10m wind-gust parameter wgust10.
