UV forecast verification / Bill Taylor.: En57-45/93-5E-PDF

"This paper compares Ultraviolet (UV) radiation forecasts for Penticton, B.C. issued by the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) to observed UV Index values at nearby Summerland. The study then compares the accuracy of CMC UV forecasts with that of persistence and UV climatology. The results of this study show that the accuracy of CMCUV forecasts is comparable to that of UV forecasts based on 1978-91 climatology adjusted for current year conditions. The accuracy of the CMC UV forecasts was also found to be comparable to that of UV forecasts based upon persistence"--Introduction, page 1.
