Abstract:Considering a whole summer season in central Europe, we find that the operational, convection‐permitting ICON‐D2 ensemble prediction system is spatially underdispersive in convective precipitation forecasts. The spatial spread of hourly precipitation is insufficient to capture the inherent error adequately across all scales (up to 300 km) and forecast times (up to 24 h). This lack of spread becomes more pronounced in the weak convective forcing regime. Using physically based stochastic perturbations in the pla… Show more
