Real-Time Ensemble Validation
Thermistor

• In an observationally rich
• environment, ensemble forecasts
• can be compared to real-time data
• to assess which model is closer to reality
• and try to understand why.

Blow up of the long range stuff stronger
gradient on the northern edge stronger
convergence
44
Blow up of the standard stuff In this case the
statistical fronts are associated with divergent
currents Also this front is not readily
apparent from the original images. This a

Whats Missing?
Practical Training in an Operational Environment

• How do we fix this?
• Change in academic philosophy
• Education program linked to an Operational
  Observatory
• Internships at Government Labs
• Co-ops with Industrial Partners

58
Summary

• Observatories -Go Cheap, Go Distributed
• Products - Make Maps
• Funding NOPP-style Partnerships
• Whats Missing? - The People
• The Solution - Operational Oceanography
