Relationship between forecast precipitation relative errors and skill scores: the case of rare event frequencies

This paper addresses the problem of the relationship between skill scores and forecast rainfall relative errors. The problem is approached by using synthetic time series of rainfall data representing the observations. It is assumed that the magnitude of the relative error is known. The forecasts are...
