ecPoint-Calibrate is a software that uses conditional verification tools to compare numerical weather prediction (NWP) model outputs against point observations and, in this way, anticipate sub-grid variability and identify biases at grid scale. It provides a dynamic and user-friendly environment to post-process NWP model parameters (such as precipitation, wind, temperature, etc.) and produce probabilistic products for geographical locations (everywhere in the world, and up to medium-range forecasts).
The development of this project was sponsored by the project "ECMWF Summer of Weather Code (ESoWC)" @esowc_ecmwf ECMWF.
