Abstract
- In order to evaluate a performance of the Korea operational oceanographic system (KOOS), skill assessment has been conducted using both objective standards and measures against other prediction methods. Skill assessment requires a set of skill quantities and procedures in order to compare forecast outputs with the observation data. There are two quantities to measure both how model predictions differ from the observations such as root-mean-square error (RMSE), RMSE percentage (RMSE%), root-mean-square difference (RMSD), and mean bias (MB) and how model predictions are correlated with the observations such as correlation coefficient (R), index of agreement (IOA), and coefficient efficiency (E). As a representative measure and quality assurance standard, central frequency (CF) is used to indicate how often model errors fall within acceptable limits which was proposed by Zhang et al. (2010) and used in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS). In table 1, the statistics for skill assessment and acceptance criteria for the skill quantities are described and target criteria for CF are also presented according to atmospheric and hydrodynamic variables including atmospheric pressure, wind, water elevation, current velocity, water temperature, and salinity (Cho et al., 2014).ill quantities and procedures in order to compare forecast outputs with the observation data.
