European vs American Weather Models: Post Joaquin Debate Likely But Some Perspective

Yep, it has already started. And many of us knew that it would. The European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) or “Euro” model seems to have sniffed out Hurricane Joaquin’s eventual track before NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Prediction GFS did. People and media are now using this single event to make sweeping statements about superiority. And I totally get it. Lives and property are at stake, and it was a “high profile, high impact” event.
