- Abstract
Forecasts of precipitation type are of high priority, as they have a large influence on human safety, the economy and the environment. In recent decades, methods of statistical post-processing of numerical weather prediction (NWP) outputs were only applied beside the experience of the operational forecasters. In the last few years, numerical models developed significantly; thus, precipitation type has become a variable directly calculated in some models. In the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) integrated forecast system (IFS) model, a new method has been used since 2015 to predict the type of precipitation. In this study, we examine the forecast of the ECMWF IFS ensemble model concerning precipitation type through ensemble verification and a case study on a freezing-rain situation for the territory of Hungary. We put emphasis on the investigation of the usability of ensemble forecasts. We introduce the developed forms of visualization supporting the interpretation of ensemble precipitation-type forecasts.
