| dc.description.abstract | This project studies the sensitivity of model output statistics (or MOS) in numerical weather prediction to lead times and parameters. In order to study MOS in an idealized setting, I use the simplified Lorenz system of differential equations as the physical model to explore the sensitivity of linear MOS in this non-linear system. MOS finds a statistical relationship between imperfect model variables and true variables using linear regression. The effect on the forecast error of lead time and parameter perturbation are investigated. | en_US |
