Total verification of tracks done in 2021 in Eastern Pacific
Above: Possibly the most ridiculous Eastern Pacific track of 2021. No, Kevin didn't reach 215 mph winds... These tracks, or lack of those, have been earlier discussed in separate blog entries system-wise or time-wise: Andres Blanca Carlos Dolores Enrique Felicia Guillermo Hilda Jimena Ignacio Kevin Linda Marty Nora Olaf Pamela Rick Terry Sandra ghost storms Jan-May ghost storms Jun-Jul ghost storms Aug-Oct ghost storms Nov-Dec In 2021, I analysed 328 model cycles. I made 158 tracks of storms, that actually formed later. I made 105 tracks of ghost storms. I missed 150 times cyclogenesis, which actually happened within 504 hours. At the lead time of 1 day ( 24 hours), there were 30 hits, 15 false detections and 5 misses. 43 available position comparisons produce an average error of 53 nautical miles. At the lead time of 2 days ( 48 hours), there were 41 hits, 17 false detections and 2 misses. 49 available position comparisons produce an average error of 82 nau...
