Comparison GFS vs. WRF vs. ICON

Model comparison Compare the precipitation forecasts of 3 models
- day1 to day3
- as well as pressure, temperature, humidity
- 00Z and 12Z runs

Verification of 24h-precipitation sums

Model verification Verification of model-predicted 24h-precipitation sums of 00Z WRF and GFS runs
- against >2000 synop station reports
- visual comparison for the last 3 days
    (WRF12km vs. Measurements vs. GFS vs. WRF4km)
- scatter plots
- auto-verification for different scores, plotted for last 30 days
