ESRL/PSD Analog Probabilistic Precipitation Forecasts
Our reforecast dataset is of comparatively low horizontal resolution (T62, or about 250 km). However, high-resolution probabilistic forecasts can be produced using analog techniques. The precipitation forecast maps produced here utilize a logistic regression methodology.
The precipitation analyses used as analogs in this procedure are the 32-km grids from the North American Regional Reanalysis , downscaled to 5-km resolution using the 'mountain-mapper' technique .
