Short summary
A metric measures the difference between two system states. So far, there is arbitrariness in its definition in terms of wind, temperature and surface pressure of the atmosphere. The choice of definition affects many applications: e.g. predictability studies, error growth analyses and ensemble forecasts. We construct a new metric based on vector space theory and energy conservation, and apply it to analytic models and atmospheric data. We discuss its advantages over a widely used older metric.
