Select a verification topic on the left to see a summary of statistics and measures associated with that topic. For each statistic and measure that is associated with numerical values, you will see the range of potential values and the desirable or optimal value.  For measures that are visual, you will see a graphic of how that measure might look for verification of good forecasts.  Finally, the table will show which statistics and values are associated with verification of deterministic forecasts and probabilistic forecasts. In some cases the measure is used with both deterministic and probabilistic forecasts.
