Abstract:	摘要： Measurement of the usefulness of numerical weather prediction considers not only the forecast quality but also the possible economic value (EV) in the daily decision-making process of users. Discrimination ability of an ensemble prediction system (EPS) can be assessed by the relative operating characteristic (ROC), which is closely related to the EV provided by the same forecast system. Focusing on short-range probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasts (PQPFs) for typhoons, this study demonstrates the consistent and strongly related characteristics of ROC and EV based on the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) EPS operated at the Central Weather Bureau in Taiwan. Sensitivity experiments including the effect of terrain, calibration, and forecast uncertainties on ROC and EV show that the potential EV provided by a forecast system is mainly determined by the discrimination ability of the same system. The ROC and maximum EV (EVmax) of an EPS are insensitive to calibration, but the optimal probability threshold to achieve the EVmax becomes more reliable after calibration. In addition, the LAPS ensemble probabilistic forecasts outperform deterministic forecasts in respect to both ROC and EV, and such an advantage grows with increasing precipitation intensity. Also, even without explicitly knowing the cost–loss ratio, one can still optimize decision-making and obtain the EVmax by using ensemble probabilistic forecasts. 出版者： Washington: American Meteorological Society 出版日期： 2015-05-01 出處： Monthly weather review, 2015-05, Vol.143 (5), p.1833-1848 資源來源： EBSCOhost OmniFile Full Text Select 版權： Copyright American Meteorological Society May 2015 識別號： ISSN: 0027-0644 識別號： EISSN: 1520-0493 識別號： DOI: 10.1175/MWR-D-14-00189.1 識別號： CODEN: MWREAB
