  • Weather Forecasting for a Large Sporting Event World Sailing
    Weather Forecasting for a large Sporting Event: World Sailing Games 2006 a diploma thesis submitted to the INSTITUTE OF METEOROLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS UNIVERSITY OF INNSBRUCK for the degree of MASTER OF NATURAL SCIENCE presented by MICHAEL BURGSTALLER OCTOBER 2008 ‘Wir können den Wind nicht wehen lassen. Aber jeder von uns kann ein Segel setzen, sodass wir ihn einfangen können, wenn er kommt.’ E. T. Schumacher Abstract Abstract In May 2006 the ISAF World Sailing Games took place on lake Neusiedl, Austria. For this event, a forecasting team of the ‘Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics’ (ZAMG) made daily predictions for the organization committee, the sailors, their managers and the public. The aims of this thesis were to review weather prediction for large sporting events and to evaluate the forecast quality for the World Sailing Games. Meteorological support for the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck 1964 and 1976, the Summer Olympics in Sydney 2000 and the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City 2002 is reviewed and provided the basis of the following investigation. The remarkable is quality and quantity of the meteorological preparations for the events has increased strongly and the prediction quality has improved as well. For the World Sailing Games 2006 a climatology is developed by means of a 10- minute-mean data set of the automatic weather station Neusiedl to find the best time of the year for the sailing event and to identify wind regimes on the lake Neusiedl. Statistical investigations are made for all used prediction tools and models, for example model output statistics (MOSMix and AustroMOS), direct model output (Aladin and ECMWF), and persistence by means of common methods like bias, mean error, correlation and one skill score for mean temperatures, minima and maxima, as well as sailing specific predictors like wind speed, wind direction and gusts in the period between May 7 and 22, 2006 to find out the best model for each parameter.
