Single Member Selection in Ensemble Forecasting
نویسنده
چکیده
Ensemble forecasting is a technique devised to palliate sensitivity to initial conditions in nonlinear dynamical systems. The basic idea to avoid this sensitivity is to run the model many times under several slightly-different initial conditions, merging the resulting forecast in a combined product. We argue that this blending procedure is unphysical, and that a single trajectory should be chosen instead. We illustrate our case with a climate model. While most of the current climate simulations use the ensemble average technique as merging procedure, this paper shows that this choice presents several drawbacks, including a serious underestimation of future climate extremes. It is also shown that a sensible choice of a single estimate from the ensemble solves this problem, partly overcoming the inherent sensitivity to initial conditions of those non-linear systems with a large number of degrees of freedom.

Enhancing Ensemble Performance through Feature Selection and Hybridization
Ensemble has been proved a successful approach for enhancing the performance of a single classifier. But there are two key factors directly influencing the outcomes of an ensemble: accuracy of each single member and diversity between the members. There have been many approaches used in the literature to create the mentioned diversity. In this paper, we add to them a novel approach, in which cla...
متن کاملA Selective Fuzzy Clustering Ensemble Algorithm
To improve the performance of clustering ensemble method, a selective fuzzy clustering ensemble algorithm is proposed. It mainly includes selection of clustering ensemble members and combination of clustering results. In the process of member selection, measure method is defined to select the better clustering members. Then some selected clustering members are viewed as hyper-graph in order to ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Weather Forecasting in R
Abstract This article describes two R packages for probabilistic weather forecasting, ensembleBMA, which offers ensemble postprocessing via Bayesian model averaging (BMA), and ProbForecastGOP, which implements the geostatistical output perturbation (GOP) method. BMA forecasting models use mixture distributions, in which each component corresponds to an ensemble member, and the form of the compo...
متن کاملProbabilistic Precipitation Forecasting Based on Ensemble Output Using Generalized Additive Models and Bayesian Model Averaging
A probabilistic precipitation forecasting model using generalized additive models (GAMs) and Bayesian model averaging (BMA) was proposed in this paper. GAMs were used to fit the spatial-temporal precipitation models to individual ensemble member forecasts. The distributions of the precipitation occurrence and the cumulative precipitation amount were represented simultaneously by a single Tweedi...
متن کاملInitial Results of a Mesoscale Short-Range Ensemble Forecasting System over the Pacific Northwest
Motivated by the promising results of global-scale ensemble forecasting, a number of groups have attempted mesoscale, short-range ensemble forecasting (SREF), focusing mainly over the eastern half of the United States. To evaluate the performance of mesoscale SREF over the Pacific Northwest and to test the value of using different initial analyses as a means of ensemble forecast generation, a f...
