This report analyzes the preliminary verification results of 1-tier and 2-tier Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) SST forecasts against observed sea surface temperatures for May 17, 2012. It covers correlation metrics, including map average and climate average correlations, alongside forecast performance indicators such as Relative Probability Skill Score (RPSS), Rate of Return, Heidke skill, and Gross Reliability Constraint (GROC). The focus is on the verification of temperature and precipitation tercile categories for the FMA 2012 forecast, providing insights into model efficacy.
