For
Weather-model developers and people comparing forecast accuracy
Worth noticing
Weekly coverage spans 21 tasks across seven dates, using New York, London, and Tokyo stations with a 12:00 UTC observation time.

Field notes

The stated ranking measure is mean absolute error, and the page says entries share the same task set rather than being compared across different coverage. It describes publishing source evidence and hash receipts after each deadline, but also says timestamps are currently held server-side and model identities are self-declared.
