Chris Davis (MMM/RAL), Barb Brown (RAL), and Randy Bullock (RAL) for their pioneering paper on an object-based verification methodology which mimics the human perception of forecast quality and provides diagnostic feedback on the nature of forecast errors. This paper marks an important shift from traditional statistical scoring toward a diagnostically relevant verification approach that will change the way forecast performance assessments will be done in the future.
