Abstract
The development of various verification approaches for convective weather forecasts is discussed. Standard approaches for verification of spatial QPFs and convective forecasts are based on simple grid overlays in which the forecasts grid is matched to an observation grid or set of observation points. The general goal of the object-oriented verification approach is to reduce the forecast and observed convection/ precipitation areas to regions of interest that can be compared to one another in a meaningful way. The object-oriented verification approach for spatial forecasts has the potential for providing new useful verification information that cannot be obtained using standard approaches.
