Traditional forecast verification is conducted for a single point location. When faced with a grid of points, the usual approach has been to perform forecast verification point by point. Such a strategy is inadequate because it ignores the spatial structure of the field, is highly susceptible to the double penalty problem (especially for higher resolution forecasts), and it does not provide use...

This theoretical study is carried out to investigate the effect of radiation on ice crystal spectrum in the upper troposphere. First, an explicit expression is obtained for the ice crystal growth rate that takes account of radiative and kinetic effects. Second, the expression is used to quantitatively analyse how radiation broadens the ice crystal spectrum and then to reveal a new precipitation...
