<p class=MsoNormal>We have been running MODE for our cloud forecasts over a
period of several weeks. Originally, we wanted to be able to summarize
the position errors of the cloud features. But our domain was too small
to be able to completely resolve cloud features so we are now running mode on
our larger domain forecast. However to make use of the data we have
already collected for a briefing, I was going to try to get a handle on cloud
area differences between the forecast and the observation. Also, I would
like to get the number of times the forecast missed the observed cloud or cloud
was forecast but didn’t occur. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Looking through the documentation, it just is not very clear
on what options I should set in mode analysis to get the data listed
above. My current command line is:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to summarize the data by forecast hour, so I
would run it with differenc –fcst_lead values. When I run this the
area is 0. If I run using –bycase, I get counts for fcst matched
and obs matched but not fcst unmatched and ob unmatched. I don’t
use the –matched/-unmatched since the documentation implied you would get
both if you didn’t include them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What options should I be running with?<o:p></o:p></p>
