Description:
The image shows a narrow heavy band predicted perfectly except shifted by 50 km, there is no overlap between the observed and predicted rain areas. Comparing the forecast and observed point values indicates a terrible forecast. Instead, if the verification method assesses the rain area characteristics, it would indicate an excellent forecast, albeit with a position error. In contrast, a coarse-resolution model may predict too broad an area for the rain band, correctly predicting some rain in the areas where it was observed as well as predicting rain in adjacent areas where it was not observed. While the coarse-resolution forecast poorly predicted the observed structure, it would score better in a point-by-point verification method because it correctly predicted rain in some areas.
