VerificationSelection of test cases: sources I
Information from forecasters about bad precipitation forecast
Not objectiveFor different forecast ranges
Verification of precipitation by forecastersdaily average for 15 regions in Switzerlandforecast, model results and observationsdisadvantage: currently no automatic evaluation possible
=> Situations with bad precipitation forecast in Switzerland

VerificationSelection of test cases: next steps
Complete list for 2004 and 2006Check if insufficient forecast is due to deviations of the synoptic situation
Might be necessary to rerun simulations due to missing output plots that can be compared with analysisPossibly ANETZ verification
=> skip these casesSpecify different kinds forecast errors (e.g. synoptic conditions) and select characteristic test cases
