Introducing uncertainty of radar-rainfall estimates to the verification of mesoscale model precipitation forecasts

A simple measure of the uncertainty associated with using radar-derived rainfall estimates as "truth" has been introduced to the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) verification process to assess the effect on forecast skill and errors. Deterministic precipitation forecasts from the...
