A Methodology for Verifying Cloud Forecasts with VIIRS Imagery and Derived Cloud Products—A WRF Case Study

A methodology is presented to evaluate the accuracy of cloud cover fraction (CCf) forecasts generated by numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. It is demonstrated with a case study consisting of simulations from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In this study, since t...
