摘要

The quality of precipitation forecasts from four Numerical WeatherPrediction (NWP) models is evaluated over the Ovens catchment in SoutheastAustralia. Precipitation forecasts are compared with observed precipitationat point and catchment scales and at different temporal resolutions. Thefour models evaluated are the Australian Community Climate Earth-SystemSimulator (ACCESS) including ACCESS-G with a 80 km resolution, ACCESS-R 37.5 km, ACCESS-A 12 km, and ACCESS-VT 5 km.The skill of the NWP precipitation forecasts varies considerably betweenrain gauging stations. In general, high spatial resolution (ACCESS-A andACCESS-VT) and regional (ACCESS-R) NWP models overestimate precipitation indry, low elevation areas and underestimate in wet, high elevation areas. Theglobal model (ACCESS-G) consistently underestimates the precipitation at allstations and the bias increases with station elevation. The skill varieswith forecast lead time and, in general, it decreases with the increasinglead time. When evaluated at finer spatial and temporal resolution (e.g. 5 km,hourly), the precipitation forecasts appear to have very little skill.There is moderate skill at short lead times when the forecasts are averagedup to daily and/or catchment scale. The precipitation forecasts fail toproduce a diurnal cycle shown in observed precipitation. Significantsampling uncertainty in the skill scores suggests that more data arerequired to get a reliable evaluation of the forecasts. The non-smooth decayof skill with forecast lead time can be attributed to diurnal cycle in theobservation and sampling uncertainty.Future work is planned to assess the benefits of using the NWP rainfallforecasts for short-term streamflow forecasting. Our findings here suggestthat it is necessary to remove the systematic biases in rainfall forecasts,particularly those from low resolution models, before the rainfall forecastscan be used for streamflow forecasting.
