Motivation
• Actionable weather forecasts required at longer lead times
• Conveying certainty/uncertainty in weather forecasts at any time length challenging

Decisions Being Made Sooner
Do Nothing
• Better be 100% correct
• $$ cost of being wrong is high
• Unhappy customers
• Bad publicity
• Regulation
Do Something
• Pre-mobilization
• Scheduling
• Planning
• Resources
• Mutual Assistance

Current Methodology
• Meteorologist experience and knowledge of the current weather, combined with the model forecasts and other data dictates confidence level in the weather forecast
Hypothesis-
An ensemble weather model may provide an engineered solution to quantifying forecast probabilities at any time scale
…how would decision making change if this were the case?

Ensemble Decision Tool
• 2014 Phase 1 –
• Develop visualizations that show the probability of incoming weather – based on company weather triggers
• Storm track – testing phase
• Coming soon –
– High winds, heavy precipitation, freezing line
– Attempt to classify the probability of weather solutions by a “most probable”, “best case”, “worst-case” scenario

Ensemble Datasets
• Operational cyclone tracking website uses 4 ensembles
– 21 member GEFS: Global Ensemble Forecast System
– 21 member CMC: Canadian Meteorological Center Ensemble
– 21 member SREF: Short Range Ensemble Forecast System
– 10 member FNMOC: Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (NOGAPS Ensemble)
• Forecasts update when data is available• GEFS and SREF 4 times daily
• CMC and FNMOC 2 times daily

Ensemble Decision Tool
• 2015 Phase 2 – Incorporate Historical Data
– By using a historical data set of storms, the ensemble model can be “trained” toward pattern recognition
– Probability estimates can be improved by comparing the forecast to past events
