NCEP Service Center Evaluations - HPC

• Given

  • the preliminary verification statistics provided by Jun Du (showing improvement over the operational version of SREF)
  • the lack of significant difference noted by HPC during the evaluation period
  • the lack of retrospective runs
  • the short period to evaluate output

• HPC offers a “thumbs sideways” for this upgrade

• Recommendation:

• Implement as proposed (Thumbs sideways)
