Probabilities

Here are all the probabilities parameters. These are calculated from all members of an ensemble run.

Spaghetti plots

Here you will find all the spaghetti plot parameters. The spaghettis show all members of an ensemble run. The colors represent different threshold values. The more the lines diverge, the less certain is the prognosis.
