- pysteps.verification.ensscores.ensemble_skill(X_f, X_o, metric, **kwargs)#
Compute mean ensemble skill for a given skill metric.
- Parameters:
X_f (array-like) – Array of shape (l,m,n) containing the forecast fields of shape (m,n) from l ensemble members.
X_o (array_like) – Array of shape (m,n) containing the observed field corresponding to the forecast.
metric (str) – The deterministic skill metric to be used (list available in
get_method()
).
- Returns:
out – The mean skill of all ensemble members that is used as defintion of ensemble skill (as in Zacharov and Rezcova 2009 with the FSS).
