Validation of Satellite-Derived Rainfall Estimates and Numerical Model Forecasts of Precipitation over the US John Janowiak Climate Prediction Center/NCEP/NWS 2 nd Int’l Precipitation Working Group - October 26, 2004

Work is modeled after the pioneering effort of Dr. Beth Ebert (BMRC/Australian BOM) U.S. Validation at:

Validation Data Set station reports daily - 06Z – 06Z accumulation period - Data analyzed using a Cressman-type scheme - Error characteristics of validation data are NOT known - Validation area matched for all estimates (if missing in one, made missing in all) Typical Station Distribution

Validation Results

CONCLUSIONS 1. Merging PMW & IR estimates provides more accurate estimates of precipitation than the separate components can

CONCLUSIONS 1. Merging PMW & IR estimates provides more accurate estimates of precipitation than the separate components can 2. Two major systematic biases are apparent in the satellite estimates: a. OVERestimation over snow-covered regions b. OVERestimation in semi-arid regions during the warm season

CONCLUSIONS 1. Merging PMW & IR estimates provides more accurate estimates of precipitation than the separate components can 2. Two major systematic biases are apparent in the satellite estimates: a. OVERestimation over snow-covered regions b. OVERestimation in semi-arid regions during the warm season 3. NWP forecasts generally outperform blended satellite estimates and radar during the winter season over the U.S.
