To establish a mathematical decomposition of the continuous ranked probability score into reliability and resolution components for ensemble forecasting systems.
Derived analytical formulations partitioning the continuous ranked probability score into reliability and resolution/uncertainty terms analogous to Brier score decomposition.
Mapped the reliability component to ensemble rank histograms and connected the resolution component to ensemble spread and outlier dynamics.
Evaluated the decomposition using operational ensemble prediction data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.
Demonstrated that the continuous ranked probability score separates into distinct reliability and resolution/uncertainty terms across continuous forecast ranges.
Confirmed that the decomposition effectively diagnoses ensemble spread and outlier behavior in ECMWF forecasts, extending naturally to continuous probability distributions.
