Notes for Global Ensemble model evaluation:

ENS_s ---> 14 members ensemble mean of current operation,
ENS_e ---> 20 members ensemble mean of current parallel, small initial spread.
ENS_h ---> 20 members ensemble mean of current parallel, large initial spread,
GFS_s ---> operational GFS forecast,
D-O ---> Die-off, E-G ---> Error Growth,
(dashed lines on err-grow maps represent ensemble spreads)
outlier ---> means ensemble Talrgrand distribution excess
(x-axis date represents verification time)
