These tracks, or lack of those, have been earlier discussed in separate blog entries system-wise or time-wise: Alvin Barbara Cosme TD 4-E Dalila Erick Flossie Gil Henriette Ivo Juliette Akoni Kiko Lorena Mario Narda Octave Priscilla Raymond TD 21-E ghost storms Jan-May ghost storms Jun-Jul ghost storms Aug-Oct ghost storms Nov-Dec In 2019, I analysed 721 GEFS runs. I made 134 tracks of storms, that actually formed. I made 212 tracks of ghost storms. I missed 177 times cyclogenesis, which actually happened within 384 hours. At the lead time of 1 day ( 24 hours), there were 5 hits, 21 false detections and 7 misses. 15 available position comparisons produce an average error of 125 nautical miles. At the lead time of 2 days ( 48 hours), there were 14 hits, 29 false detections and 13 misses. 24 available position comparisons produce an average error of 133 nautical miles. At the lead time of 3 days ( 72 hours), there were 23 hits,...
