    Abstract
    Procedures that may be used to evaluate the operational performance of a wide spectrum of geophysical models are introduced. Primarily using a complementary set of difference measures, both model accuracy and precision can be meaningfully estimated, regardless of whether the model predictions are manifesteda s scalars,d irections,o r vectors.I t is additionally suggestedth at the reliability of the accuracy and precision measures can be determined from bootstrap estimates of confidence and significance. Recommendedp roceduresa re illustrated with a comparativee valuation of two models that estimate wind velocity over the South Atlantic Bight.
