WRF Precipitation Verification

loading…

How to read this. Every completed WRF run is compared against INAMHI hourly rain gauges inside the 3 km nest. Pick an accumulation window and a matching rule below — the matching rule matters more than any single score. Scoring starts at forecast hour 1; an N-hour accumulation cannot be closed before hour N, so the 24 h window necessarily begins at f24. The lead axis is binned in 6-hour groups.
