Description:

"Since February 1982 NMC has been receiving the 24 through 120 hour ECMWF forecasts, from 1200 GMT initial data, of 500 mb height and sea level pressure on a near real time basis. More recently (early May) we have also been receiving the "D+8" 500 mb height fields map (the 5 day mean map centered on forecast hour 204). The forecasts are received over the GTS on a 5° latitude longitude grid for the northern hemisphere north of 20° and are biquadratically interpolated to NMC's "standard" 65x65 polar stereographic grid (one bedient mesh length) for display and verification purposes. The relative skill of ECMWF vis-a-vis NMC forecasts has been assessed objectively and subjectively. The following presents the results of our evaluations through July 1982"--Introduction.
