The Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) and the Shift Of Tail (SOT) index

Learn how EFI, SOT and Model Climate are built and provide forecast guidance for extreme, or severe weather events.

Level: Fundamentals

Certification course: No

What you'll learn:

How the Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) and the Shift Of Tail (SOT) index and Model Climate (M-climate) are built, and how they relate to one another
Limitations of these methods
Case studies

Prerequisites:

Experience in meteorology and forecasting
Basic statistics (probability distributions)

Full description:

This lesson introduces the Extreme Forecast Index (EFI), which provides specialised guidance for identifying anomalous, extreme, or severe weather events. You will learn how the EFI, the Shift of Tails (SOT), and Model Climate are constructed, and how they relate to one another.
