The overall distribution situation is the nonlinear evolution of the southern hemisphere, which is larger than that of the northern hemisphere. In the same hemisphere, low value area is near the equator, and high value area for middle and high latitude area. On the time dimension, the nonlinear evolution of NCEP ensemble prediction products will increase with the extension of the forecast period. In addition, the nonlinear evolution of NCEP ensemble forecast products in North America is greater than the Asian region. %K NCEP Ensemble Forecast %K Nonlinear Characteristics %K Evolution %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=86213
