Appendix G
Intensity Guidance Model Errors for 2005


Although not computed operationally, included for reference in tables G-1 and G-2 is a simple intensity consensus model (ICON) that is an average of GFDI and DSHP. In each table, The number of cases (“# Cases” at bottom of each table) indicates the number of JTWC forecasts represented in the error computation.
