The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model contains two dynamic cores: the Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM – Janjic 2003) core (developed at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Advanced Research WRF (ARW – Skamarock et al. 2005) core, developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Each d...
The Ebert-McBride technique (EMT) is an entity-oriented method useful for quantitative precipitation verification. The EMT was modified to optimize its ability to identify contiguous rain areas (CRAs) during the 2002 International H2O Project (IHOP). This technique was then used to identify systematic sources of error as a function of...
WRF forecasts over the Southeast United States: Does a larger domain lead to better results?
Verification of quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) made by fine-grid numerical models for mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) can be prob-lematic. Traditional verification statistics severely penal-ize a precipitation system that may have been forecast with a small positional error or incorrect shape, with resultant low correlation coef...
