Re: Spring fourteen
where Don?
And I'm with Carroll , I think this southern fetch has better than forecast potential. I like those swells......there can be some real mystery bag sessions on these swells if you're prepared to bet against the house.

Long range charts - eastern quadrant. Don't get me wrong Steve. Nothing epic, but certainly punching well above the November weight!!!steve shearer wrote:where Don?
Winds look pretty woeful to capture the most from this swell....at least in Nth NSW/SE Qld.steve shearer wrote:And I'm with Carroll , I think this southern fetch has better than forecast potential.

Re: Spring fourteen
Some interesting comments made in the article "September 2014: Putting the Brakes on the Hype Train" further down on this page:
http://www.surfline.com/surf-science/di ... ts_117615/
Although the majority of what is said in the surfline article is already known to most keen surf forecasters.
The person that develops a WAM from ECMWF data will be a rich man IMO.
Would love to get my hands on that Halperin paper.

Re: Spring fourteen
I've read the abstract and while it may be true EC has the greatest statistical reliability that still doesn't account for case by case model performance during the NAM.
You need to be on it and get a handle on how each model is initializing and performing subsquently.

Re: Spring fourteen
Your mangoes are as honest as Tony Abbott.
They told us last year we were going to have a monster cyclone season.

Thanks for the paper mate!!!swvic wrote:PM me an email address and I'll send it to you
Summary is (which we kinda already knew):
"Overall, if two or more models predict TC genesis, there is a relatively low probability that all of the models are predicting an FA. Thus, the results from the various consensus experiments are better than those from any single model."
Other key statement is:
"The performance shows that the ECMWF misses many genesis events, but when the model does predict genesis, development usually occurs."
And some multi-model information:
"We also examined multiple model forecasts of genesis with three-model combinations. As expected, results from the three-model combinations generally are better than from the two-model combinations. Among the best are the GFS–NOGAPS–UKMET and the ECMWF–GFS–NOGAPS combinations, which yield a 100% chance that genesis does occur (albeit potentially at the wrong time)."
Of more interest however (and unfortunately this paper only investigated TC's in the Atlantic) is that some models have a greater success or failure rate in different areas of the Atlantic. That is, GFS is not as good as EC for instance in a particular quadrant of the Atlantic when it comes to forecasting TC's.
Would love to see a similar assessment done for the TC regions of Australia and the South Pacific. Anyone care to undertake this thesis?

no they didn't. they said at least one big one, which we did, and we scored, didn't we?

are you denying we're going to hit a long and arduous el nino?

Seems to be a quiet cicada year here in Sydney. What does that tell us about the surf this summer?Braithy wrote:We're headed for a perilous El Niño period.

How do the mangoes communicate with you?
