Weather Model Experiment 2012 Results

In 2011 I done a experiment to see how the models perform in 2012 I done the same thing. The experiment took place during September and October. Basically how it works fairly they all make a forecast on the same day at the same time (12z) then when the actual time comes I check the actual weather conditions and see how accurate they were. The models faced tough challenges mainly in September when Hurricane Nadine made the models struggle. The points system rewards the models more points the further out they get things right so if they get something right in the next 24 hours the points awarded are not all that big but at 144 hours the points rewarded are huge.

[b]Comments -[/b] I was surprised to see NOGAPS score the best here considering it did the poorest with 24 and 48 hours.

[b]Comments -[/b] A three way tie between the GFS, UKMO and JMA, I was surprised to see the JMA do well here.

[b]Comments -[/b] GEM just done incredible here most of the time it got things spot on not only that it was consistent as well.

[b]Comments - [/b]Very close between the UKMO and GEM but the UKMO just managed to gain a few more points.
[b]Overall[/b]
1. UKMO 770.
2. GEM 740.
3. JMA 670.
4. ECM 660.
5. BOM 655.
6. GFS 640.
7. NOGAPS 455.
8. GME 260.
[b]Comments -[/b] Last year the ECM took the victory well now it's dropped down to 4th, GEM and JMA done better this year and UKMO overall was the best performing model through the whole experiment gaining 30 points more than GEM in second.
I hope you found this interesting it is not meant to say what model is the best or anything but just a experiment I done and would like to share with you all.
