Predictive ability of severe rainfall events over Catalonia for the year 2008
This paper analyses the predictive ability of quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) and the so-called “poorman” rainfall probabilistic forecasts (RPF). With this aim, the full set of warnings issued by the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (SMC) for potentially-dangerous events due to severe precipitation has been analysed for the year 2008.
