Abstract

The performance of the latest verification technique for quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) was discussed. The 22 kilometer Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used as the forecast data set and was restricted to areas within the borders of the Continental United States (CONUS). Stage IV data were utilized as the observation data set. The higher resolution Stage IV data were smoothed to allow for a more valid comparison with the lower resolution WRF model forecast output. The convolution radius and threshold were varied to assess the sensitivity of the technique to these parameters.
