  2. “State-of-the-Art” Operational Verification • Provide instant feedback to forecasters • Enable comparison of individual forecast(er)s vs. observations • Produce comprehensive statistics of the quality of End Products • Produce comprehensive statistics of guidance forecasts (e.g. NWP) • Produce statistics of individual forecasters - personal biases etc. • Utilize a comprehensive set of tailored verification measures • Provide simplified verification statistics for the general public, the customers, the decision makers WWRP QPF Verification - Prague
