Zusammenfassung:This paper reports on an assessment of quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) issued by the Arkansas Red Basin River Forecast Center during the period May-June 1995. Assessment procedures involved spatial statistical procedures applied to the QPFs and Stage III calibrated radar-rainfall fields, and overlays of these. The QPF estimates were broad regional estimates that corresponded reasonably well to actual storm characteristics over the region.
