 Quantitative precipitation forecasts will be evaluated by considering the spatial-temporal structure of water in all its three phases using new remote sensing observations. By studying the whole process chain from the water vapour distribution through cloud processes to the amount of precipitation reaching the ground, weaknesses in the treatment of cloud processes in weather forecasting models will be identified. Improvements in predictions should be achieved by improving the assumptions about cloud and precipitation microphysics (e.g. conversion rates, drop size distributions, particle phase and shape) as well as the sub-grid variability. Quantitative precipitation forecasts will be evaluated by considering the spatial-temporal structure of water in all its three phases using new remote sensing observations.
