  • systematic errors reflect the limitations of the NWP model’s ability to simulate the physical and dynamic properties of the system.

Systematic errors due to model deficiencies and/or observational representativeness can be partly corrected by statistical means (e.g. Model model output statistics MOS).  A series of forecasts will also help in helps with dealing with uncertainty.
