The preview release of ExtremeWeatherBench provides initial functionality alongside sample forecast datasets to test out core functionality, specifically oriented on three metrics and two event types:
Events: Heat waves and freezes (cold snaps).
Metrics: Regional RMSE, Maximum temperature MAE (for heat waves), and Maximum, or highest, Minimum temperature MAE (also for heat waves).
Within this release also has 29 heat wave events and 6 freeze events identified and included in the events.yaml file within assets/data.
We encourage any issues, thoughts, discussions, etc. as we continue to build the core and extended functionality of EWB!
