Bias Corrected Temperatures
• Impacts of the correction is stronger at lower levels
• Showed 1000, 850 and 700 hPa
– Impact larger at longer ranges
– 850 and 700 hPa used in K-Index and Total Totals Index
computations
• So any type of derived field would be improved via Bias correction
• Can impact and incrementally improve products
• 850 hPa will be more impacted than 700 hPa.
• Thus:
– We see the impact of the Bias Correction technique
– We see the value of verification in the forecast process
