The phrase "a continuous ranking" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a system or method of ranking that is ongoing or unbroken.
Example: "The competition will feature a continuous ranking of participants based on their performance throughout the season."
Alternatives: "an ongoing ranking" or "a steady ranking".
A benchmark intercomparison experiment is then undertaken using the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS), a reference forecasting system and a suite of 23 different methods to derive benchmarks.
Based on the Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS), a hierarchical scoring system is formed among these entities, CA EP GENCO.
All thermal forecasts returned continuous ranked probability scores under 0.8 °C when using a set of 40 initial conditions and meteorological forecasts comprising 20 members.
The performance of HMM GMR was verified based on the mean square error and continuous ranked probability score skill scores.
The ensemble spread accounts for the forecast uncertainty and leads to considerable improvement in terms of the continuous ranked probability score.
In terms of ensemble spread, both the Brier skill scores and continuous ranked probability skill score are improved appreciably after post-processing.
For the probabilistic predictions, the RFC and DREAM have the highest Continuous Ranked Probability Skill Scores (CRPSS) and the RFC has the best discrimination for low flows.
For experiments with synthetic CryoSat-2 data the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) was improved by up to 32%, whilst for experiments assimilating real data it could be improved by up to 10%.
The results are compared using multiple verification metrics and skill scores: relative mean error, Brier skill score and its decompositions, mean continuous ranked probability skill score and its decomposition, and the ROC score.
The results showed that including uncertainty in the precipitation and temperature inputs has a negligible effect on the posterior distribution of parameters and for the Nash Sutcliffe (NS) efficiency for the predicted flows, while the reliability and the continuous rank probability score (CRPS) improves.
