TL;DR: In this article, the Integrated Nowcasting through Comprehensive Analysis (INCA) system was developed for use in mountainous terrain, which combines surface station data with remote sensing data in such a way that the observations at the station locations are reproduced, whereas the remote-sensing data provided the spatial structure for the interpolation.

TL;DR: The ALADIN-LAEF (Aire Limitee Adaptation Dynamique Developpement Inter-national-Limited-Area Ensemble Forecasting) as mentioned in this paper is a pre-operational system that was put into pre-operation in 2007.

TL;DR: In this article, a nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression (NGR) is used to address a statistical correction of the first and second moment (mean bias and dispersion) for Gaussian-distributed continuous variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the skill of very high-resolution and frequently updated precipitation analyses (rapid-INCA) by means of a very dense weather station network (WegenerNet), operated in a limited domain of the southeastern parts of Austria (Styria).

TL;DR: The results show that the convection-permitting ensemble with higher-resolution AROME-EPS outperforms its mesoscale counterpart ALADIN-LAEF for precipitation forecasts, and there are advantages for higher precipitation thresholds at small spatial scales.
