Verification of high resolution precipitation forecast by radar-based data
Original language description
The book chapter summarizes the state of the art of QPF (Quantitative Precipitation Forecast) verification, in which the radar data is included as a part of the verification data sets. Heavy local convective rainfalls with short durations, and with quick hydrological responses are the most difficult to forecast quantitatively. The text focuses on convective precipitation forecasts, and on the verification techniques suitable for NWP model developers. It reviews some principles of radar measurements and considers radar-based products as verification data sets. The traditional and spatial verification techniques are introduced and their applications in verifying high resolution QPF are examined. The spatial verification, which relaxes the condition of an exact match to the observation at fine scales, is more specifically considered with three examples from the CR, Hungary and Poland. In addition, the use of polarisation radar measurement in verifications of microphysics is reviewed.
