Weather forecast systems have to be evaluated and evaluation errors have to be quantified. Nowadays, limited-area numerical weather prediction systems provide meteorological forecasts with kilometerscale horizontal grid spacing. High resolution precipitation forecasts are of primary interest. For example, in flood forecasting systems the precipitation details are a crucial input parameter. Here, as an illustrative total area of 41,300 km2 and in Swiss mountainous catchments with a typical area as small as about 1,500 km2 shall be evaluated (cf. Fig. 1). Recently, ensemble prediction systems (EPS) became operational which predict forecast probabilities by integration of an ensemble of numerical weather prediction models from slightly different initial states
