An experimental feature on my site, real time model error
Posted by Chris in Tampa on 8/20/2010, 3:53 pm
I have been testing a new feature on my site that is too experimental to rely on, but for those that want to test it, here is the real time model error for 95L.

Table:
http://www.tropicalatlantic.com/models/data.cgi?basin=al&year=2010&storm=95&display=modelerror&type=table&latestinvest=1&run=latest&errortype=average&interval=6&showbearing=&positionunit=nm&intensityunit=kts&showcases=&showzerohour=1&heatmap=1&hour=120
(with heat map turned on)
Another note about most tables and my Google Maps that have models on it. You can now hover your mouse over a model abbreviation to get its name. (Though not on Flash diagrams)

Chart:

An important note is that only models released into the public NHC model files ("aid_public" directory in the ATCF system) are made available. The Euro would rarely, if ever, appear for a storm in real time. The Florida State University Super-ensemble doesn't appear as well.

I am testing an additional feature offline for the model error feature. It will show error trend data to determine if each model is getting better or worse over the past 6, 12 or 24 hours. That might be available early next week if it works like I think it should and testing goes well.
