ENS Products  - Their Use

The ensemble produces a great deal of forecast data; much of it is displayed as diagrams or charts.  It is difficult for the human eye to identify more than the larger differences between each individual ensemble member.  Several display methods are used to help assess the similarity and spread of results, and to some extent the run-to-run consistency.  Chart output gives:

  • easy visual interpretation of the information.
  • a simple visual assessment of the probabilities of forecast weather events.
  • highlights potential extreme weather events. 

Outputs from the various IFS programs are described in the rest of this section (medium range, extended range, seasonal).  Access to the charts (ecCharts, Open Access, Dashboard) is described in Section 10.
