Abstract:

According to the deviation test of 31 heavy rain process forecasts in Sichuan province in 2021, 3 forecasting cases predicted by the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model and the CMA-MESO (China Meteorological Administration Mesoscale Model) model were selected for comparisons.For these three cases, the rain bands predicted by the ECMWF model were westerly biased, and those produced by the CMA-MESO were better.Based on the object-oriented verification method, the characteristics and main reasons for the bias of the two models in the heavy precipitation falling area (≥25 mm) were compared from four aspects: location deviation, area deviation, rain band trend, and precipitation intensity.The results show that the falling region of the precipitation forecasted by the ECMWF model biases westward and northward, and the westward deviation distance (59.06~123.67 km) is significantly larger than the northerly deviation distance (8.23~53.59 km), while that forecasted by the CMA-MESO model is closer to the forecast.The precipitation areas forecasted by the ECMWF and CMA-MESO models both exceed the actual areas with the ECMWF model being over 7.0%~34.3% and CMA-MESO model being over 25.2%~45.9%, respectively.The deviation between the average precipitation forecast and the actual precipitation is -3.5%~20.0%, but the extreme precipitation forecast is larger than the actual precipitation deviation, with a deviation range of 50.1%~196.9%.The test analysis shows that the CMA-MESO model can provide a correction reference for the heavy rainfall process in Sichuan province, which occurs at the edge of subtropical high and is affected by the plateau vortex or the southwest vortex when the ECMWF model forecasts the heavy rainfall area (≥25 mm) to the west.
