University of Washington Probabilistic Prediction Effort
• An attempt to create an end-to-end probabilistic prediction system.
• An interdisciplinary effort of the UW Departments of Statistics, Atmospheric Sciences and Psychology, as well as the Applied Physic Lab.
• Now going for ten years.
![Page 3: Mesoscale Probabilistic Prediction over the Northwest: An Overview Cliff Mass Adrian Raftery, Susan Joslyn, Tilmann Gneiting and others University of Washington.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cba5503460f94981499/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Support
• Key financial support from DOD MURI and JEFS program, and NWS CSTAR program
![Page 4: Mesoscale Probabilistic Prediction over the Northwest: An Overview Cliff Mass Adrian Raftery, Susan Joslyn, Tilmann Gneiting and others University of Washington.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cba5503460f94981499/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Major Elements
• Two mesoscale ensemble systems with 36-12 km grid spacing: UWME (15 members) and EnKF (80 members).
• Sophisticated post-processing to reduce model bias and enhance reliability and sharpness of resulting probability density functions (PDFs).
• Stand-alone bias correction
• Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA)
• Ensemble MOS (EMOS)
![Page 5: Mesoscale Probabilistic Prediction over the Northwest: An Overview Cliff Mass Adrian Raftery, Susan Joslyn, Tilmann Gneiting and others University of Washington.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cba5503460f94981499/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Major Elements
• Psychological research to determine the best approaches for presenting uncertainty information.
• Creation of next-generation display products providing probabilistic information to a lay audience. Example: Probcast.
• Ensemble-based data assimilation (EnKF) of 12 and 4km grid spacing

Post-Processing
• Post-processing is a critical and necessary step to get useful PDFs from ensemble systems.
• The UW has spent and is spending a great deal of effort to perfect various approaches that are applicable on the mesoscale.
![Page 20: Mesoscale Probabilistic Prediction over the Northwest: An Overview Cliff Mass Adrian Raftery, Susan Joslyn, Tilmann Gneiting and others University of Washington.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cba5503460f94981499/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Post-Processing• Major Efforts Include
– Development of grid-based bias correction– Successful development of Bayesian Model
Averaging (BMA) postprocessing for temperature, precipitation, and wind
– Development of both global and local BMA– Development of ensemble MOS (EMOS)

Communication and Display
• Considerable work by Susan Joslyn and others in psychology and APL to examine how forecasters and others process forecast information and particularly probabilistic information.
• One example has been their study of the interpretation of weather forecast icons.
