Object-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 کاملProbabilistic Forecasts of Precipitation Type
Precipitation-type forecasting is the determination of when and where particular types of precipitation (e.g., snow, rain, ice pellets, freezing rain) will occur during a forecast period. Although much is already known about the physical processes that determine the type of precipitation that reaches the ground, these forecasts are very challenging for most forecasters because of inadequate atm...

متن کاملThe Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation in Radar Observations, Model Forecasts and Maple Nowcasts
We have seen in a recent paper (Surcel et al., 2009) that the diurnal cycle of precipitation over the continental US exhibits some seasonal variability. This is a consequence of the fact that during the summer, precipitation is strongly forced by the diurnal cycle of solar heating and it usually initiates as small scales, while during spring, precipitation occurs at larger scales, being synopti...
متن کاملRuc Model-based Convective Probability Forecasts
The low predictability of warm season convective storms remains one of the outstanding challenges to the safety and efficiency of aviation travel. In particular, two unique aspects of thunderstorms combine to make them perhaps the most significant weather-related challenge confronting the aviation community: 1) the rapidity with which they develop and 2) the extreme hazard they pose to aircraft...
