I would like to thank all of the HWT personnel for a fun and interesting week - May 10-15. The experience was well worth it. How quickly I (being in the research community) have lost touch with the daily challenges that an operational forecaster faces. It was good to get back to those roots with a little hand analysis of maps!
I would like to thank you for engaging with the DTC and helping us to evaluate MET/MODE during the Spring Experiment. It is great to have eyes looking at this on a daily basis to give us some good feedback on how the tools are performing. It seemed that while I was there the participants were encouraged by the performance of MODE and its ability to capture objectively what forecasters felt subjectively. This is a great first step towards more meaningful forecast evaluations which we hope, ultimately, feedback to improve overall forecasts by removing systematic biases.

You were all great hosts. Thanks again!
