Metrics, Post-processing, and Products for Subseasonal to Seasonal Workshop

The Metrics, Post-processing and Products for S2S workshop was intended as an initial meeting to enable broad discussion of user needs; agency capabilities and products; gaps between needs and capabilities; and potential operational and technological solutions to address those gaps, especially in defining and refining post-processing solutions, developer metrics, and reliability metrics. Continuing community engagement and consensus building on the development of viable sets of measures, applicable to various situations, purposes, and goals, was an important expected outcome of the meeting. The workshop was an exploration in gaining better understanding of these myriad elements comprising the challenges of S2S forecasting. Discussions emphasized identifying and understanding community/user needs; current community ability to meet those needs; developing appropriate measures of progress; and advancing community ability to better meet those needs.
