Object-Based Verification of Precipitation Forecasts. Part I: Methodology and Application to Mesoscale Rain Areas
A recently developed method of defining rain areas for the purpose of verifying precipitation produced by numerical weather prediction models is described. Precipitation objects are defined in both forecasts and observations based on a convolution (smoothing) and thresholding procedure. In an application of the new verification approach, the forecasts produced by the Weather Research and Foreca...
متن کاملObject-Based Verification of Precipitation Forecasts. Part II: Application to Convective Rain Systems
The authors develop and apply an algorithm to define coherent areas of precipitation, emphasizing mesoscale convection, and compare properties of these areas with observations obtained from NCEP stage-IV precipitation analyses (gauge and radar combined). In Part II, fully explicit 12–36-h forecasts of rainfall from the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) are evaluated. These forecasts ...
متن کاملVerification of The Weather Channel Probability of Precipitation Forecasts
The Weather Channel (TWC) is a leading provider of weather information to the general public. In this paper the reliability of their probability of precipitation (PoP) forecasts over a 14-month period at 42 locations across the United States is verified. It is found that PoPs between 0.4 and 0.9 are well calibrated for near-term forecasts. However, overall TWC PoPs are biased toward precipitati...
متن کاملA Case Study of the Use of Statistical Models in Forecast Verification: Precipitation Probability Forecasts
The traditional approach to forecast verification consists of computing one, or at most very few, quantities from a set of forecasts and verifying observations. However, this approach necessarily discards a large portion of the information regarding forecast quality that is contained in a set of forecasts and observations. Theoretically sound alternative verification approaches exist, but these...
متن کاملRegional Model Nesting within GFS Daily Forecasts Over West Africa
The study uses the RM3, the regional climate model at the Center for Climate Systems Research of Columbia University and the NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies (CCSR/GISS). The paper evaluates 30 48-hour RM3 weather forecasts over West Africa during September 2006 made on a 0.5° grid nested within 1° Global Forecast System (GFS) global forecasts. September 2006 was the Special Observing P...
