Description:A verification program was initiated at WSO Lander, Wyoming in April of 1987. The overall purpose of the program was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of forecasting from a WSFO as compared to adaptive forecasting "on location" at a WSO in the first period (12 hours) of the forecast. Indirectly, the program looked at the effects on forecast performance at the WSFO with enhanced technology and data base versus the limited technology and data base available at the WSO's. With the advent of the Enhanced Local Forecast Program in the Central Region, it was particularly important to examine these aspects of the weather service program in Wyoming at this time. To accomplish the tasks mentioned above, the verification program needed to do the following: 1. Provide quantitative feedback to the WSO staff on individual and station forecast performance. 2. Compare the forecast performance of WSO in the local forecast with the forecast performance of the WSFO.
