A methodology for the development of an empirical, predictive model for forecasting trajectory model error is described. Trajectory model error is assumed to be a function of the complexity of the meteorological scenario under study. This complexity is quantified using a meteorological complexity factor (MCF), defined by the dispersion of a set of stochastic trajectories generated by random perturbations...
