Extended Abstract

cdFigure 2 as Fig.1, but predicted by CMA’s T639 model (a,36h, b, 60h, c,84h, d,108h)The parttern in U-shape of the rainf all spatial distribution of 84 h forecasts wasstill easily identified for both T639 and T 959 models, but with over-estimations ofprecipitation in East, South and West parts of China mainland. For 108h forecasts, therainfall amount decreased in general with a relatively indistinct parttern in U-shape ofthe rainfall spatial distributi on. After 132h forecast the rain belts do not display anyclear consistent with observation.abcdFigure 3 as Fig.1, but predicted by JMA’s T959 model (a,36h, b, 60h, c,84h, d,108h,)4 Verification of pr ecipitation forecasts by CMA’sT639 and JMA’s T959 models-56-
