- Abstract
The article discusses the convective and orographically induced precipitation study (COPS) conducted by the World Weather Research Program. This research and development project aims to improve quantitative precipitation forecasting in low-mountain regions. It says that two prominent systematic errors of the state-of-the-art mesoscale models are identified in the study. COPS has three basic components which include the synergy of unique in situ and remote-sensing instruments on different platforms, the advanced high-resolution models with data assimilation capabilities, and data assimilation and ensemble prediction systems.
