Objective techniques:a. Numerical models – perfect prog approach:a. Critically dependent upon grid resolutionb. Will play a greater role <strong>in</strong> IFPS/GFE environmentc. Have complicated biases and limitationsb. Statistical approaches:a. MOS is our best known exampleb. Simple spatial corrections can be developedc. Can capture sub-grid processesd. Powerful tool that should be gett<strong>in</strong>g more attentione. Loses context <strong>of</strong> physical model
