Verification
Comparing Observations to Forecast
- Point measurements – volumes / fields
- Observation and forecast are on different scale / location
- Problems verifying fields of meteorological data e.g. rain, clouds, radar reflectivity

NOAA AVHRR satellite image
- Re-sampling needed
- Preprocessed AVHRR image (calibrated and navigated) pixel center in the grid-box corresponding to the HIRLAM grid pixel assigned to this grid-box
- Assumptions:
HIRLAM grid value represents average over all the values in box
Neighbouring pixels tend to have similar properties

- Small domain covering little more than Scandinavia
- Forecasts re-run at ECMWF in May 2004 with reference HiRLAM of last summer.
- Irregular distribution (time and space) of the satellite overpasses

Conclusions
- Higher surface temperatures observed than forecasted
- Convective clouds in model general to warm – convection not strong enough?
- Advected clouds have smaller differences
Satellite Data:
- RTM’s are a very useful tool also in verification
- Up / Dowonscaling methods have to be tested more extensively (true observation?)
- Continuous observations are needed
- Error decompostion needed! (postion, area, intensity)

Future
- Continuous observations – METEOSAT 7/8
- This case: more forecasts – more details (lead time)
- Adaption of error decompostion software
- Satellite / SYNOP comparison
