19 CRPS and ensemble size: What to expect? Kernel representation of CRPS kernel representation of CRPS CRPS(x j, y) = 1 M x j y 1 M 2M 2 j=1 M j=1 k=1 M x j x k With exchangeability of members, the expected CRPS is E x CRPS(x j, y) = E x x y M 1 2M E x,x x x For an infinite size ensemble we get E x CRPS(x j, y) = E x x y 1 2 E x,x x x M. Leutbecher Ensemble size: How suboptimal is less than infinity? 13 September
20 How can CRPS for infinite ensemble size be predicted with a finite ensemble? The fair CRPS is a modified version of the CRPS that removes the bias in the score due to the finite ensemble size (see Chris Ferro s talk) From the kernel representation, one can see easily that the CRPS for infinite ensemble size is obtained by the estimator CRPS (x j, y) = CRPS(x j, y) 1 2M 2 (M 1) The correction term is a measure of ensemble spread. M j=1 k=1 M x j x k M. Leutbecher Ensemble size: How suboptimal is less than infinity? 13 September
21 Analytic result for statistically consistent ensembles When members are statistically consistent (iid) draws from same distribution as observation (perfectly reliable ensemble), the CRPS for an m-member ensemble satisfies ( CRPS M = 1 M 1 ) E x x ( = ) CRPS 2M M Eqns. (8) and (9) in Richardson (2001) show that the Brier score also satisfies BS M = (1 + M 1 ) BS. M. Leutbecher Ensemble size: How suboptimal is less than infinity? 13 September

28 Research and development What is a good ensemble size? Large ensemble size can delay progress in R&D It would be most efficient to use the smallest ensemble size that is sufficient to estimate impact for operational ensemble size Using proper scores with small ensembles can mislead though M.

35 Small ensemble sizes Can be used for R&D if evaluation uses fair scores Can be used in reforecasts for estimating skill Applicability of fair scores is linked to ensemble generation Current ensemble generation at ECMWF not fully consistent with exchangeability required for fair scores Benefits for R&D faster turnaround time more configurations can be explored scope for increasing statistical significance by using less members but more start dates M.

39 Conclusions How suboptimal is less than infinity? Three possible answers: A bit or maybe a lot, tell me the score and your ensemble size... Operational ensemble forecasts: 50 members are too few let s increase the ensemble size to... Research & Development: Small ensembles are highly efficient. Two to four members may be enough for standard evaluations (provided exchangeability in the ensemble generation and use of fair scores) M.

40 Discussion How can we increase ensemble size when we need to increase resolution too? Different users will have different needs, how to obtain a good compromise for all of them? How to increase ensemble size in a computationally efficient way for all forecast ranges from medium-range to extended-range? What is an adequate ensemble size for the reforecasts? Which other proper scores permit the construction of an associated fair score? M. Leutbecher Ensemble size: How suboptimal is less than infinity? 13 September
