Pathogen Forecast Model Version 1.0: A Process-based Five-Day Beach Advisory Forecast System for the San Diego/Tijuana Region

, PFM classified advisory exceedances with nearly 80% raw accuracy, high sensitivity, and lower specificity. This is the first forecast model that resolves estuarine, surfzone, and shelf regions. PFM is a useful public health tool and is constantly being improved.

Abstract

, PFM classified advisory exceedances with nearly 80% raw accuracy, high sensitivity, and lower specificity. This is the first forecast model that resolves estuarine, surfzone, and shelf regions. PFM is a useful public health tool and is constantly being improved.
