- sample_size is number of observations used to compute the monthly mean at the given station;
- score_value is the value or values of the score mean computed based on the forecast initiating at time time UTC, verifying in the month yyyymm, for the forecast length forecast_step hours; in case of nxn contingency table these are the n2 values delimited by forward slashes (see the score table above); if possible, the value should be printed using the printf string format specifier "g" (or equivalent).
(*) If the model grid or orography changed during the reported month (due to a model upgrade etc) the values of
lam,
lom and
me should be those of the latest model run.
