Prediction of storms by ensemble predictions systems
“Extra-tropical cyclones are the main natural hazard of north-west Europe causing large amounts of damage via strong winds and flooding... they can also be beneficial, providing the majority of the precipitation received in the mid-latitudes and are therefore vital to activities such as agriculture. The accurate prediction of these weather systems is therefore of key importance.”
