Therefore, they are excellent for regional scale forecasting.
Continued research and development of regional climate models that have much higher grid cell resolution (e.g., 50 km) than general circulation models (with a resolution typically of several hundred square kilometers) holds promise for enhancing future regional scale forecasts of extreme weather events.
Large-scale forecast models are based on the numerical integration of differential equation systems, which can describe atmospheric circulation processes on account of global meteorological observations.
Accordingly, we also use the (non-dimensional) scaled forecast field (with ) and the scaled observation (with ) in our analysis.
The scaled forecast errors at the top of the D″-layer of the 5-year forecasts from the analysis time t a = 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
There is a three-stage process in which the area, time period, and details of a severe weather forecast are refined from a broad-scale forecast of potential hazards to a more specific and detailed forecast of what hazards are expected, where they are expected to occur, and in what time frame.
Figure 5b shows the scaled forecast errors (in the started log scale) for the prospective data.
Upon dividing the forecast errors in the test data by their standard deviations in the training data, the scaled forecast error variances range from 0.87 to 1.07 for the seven CC categories (ideally, these ratios should be near 1).
Further, the fraction of scaled forecast errors that exceed 1.96 ranged from 0.0 to 0.033 (when the model holds and residuals are Gaussian, the portion of one-sided residuals exceeding 1.96σ is 2.5%).

Nevertheless, only large-scale forecast-producing studies could provide empirical solutions to several problems appearing in the field of (geophysical) time series forecasting.
