Physical Reality Y Physical Law: dY/dt = h(y, t) Initial Condition: Y (t 0 ) = Y 0

Atmospheric Models X is the prediction of Y d X/ dt = f(X, t) + q(t) X Initial Condition: X(t 0 ) = X 0 Stochastic Forcing: = 0 = q 2 δ(t-t’)

Model Error Z = X – Y Initial: Z 0 = X 0 - Y 0

One Overlooked Parameter Tolerance Level  Maximum accepted error

Valid Predict Period (VPP) VPP is defined as the time period when the prediction error first exceeds a pre-determined criterion (i.e., the tolerance level  ).

First-Passage Time

Conditional Probability Density Function Initial Error: Z 0 ( t – t 0 )  Random Variable Conditional PDF of ( t – t 0 ) with given Z 0  P[(t – t 0 ) | Z 0 ]

Statistical Characteristics of VPP for zero initial error and 22 km tolerance level (Non-Gaussion)

Conclusions (1) VPP (i.e., FPT) is an effective prediction skill measure (scalar). (2) Theoretical framework for FPT (such as Backward Fokker-Planck equation) can be directly used for model predictability study.
