| description | The precipitation over the Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC) is one of the most challenging atmospheric parameters to predict accurately. The Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model used in this study produces overestimated predictions of precipitation intensity compared to satellite data. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the model output to minimize the bias between predictions and satellite observations. The modification includes adjusting the dynamic model parameters and settings to better reflect atmospheric conditions in the IMC region, applying bias correction techniques through a linear scaling method, aligning the monthly average of the model's output with observational data, and conducting statistical analysis in several areas within the IMC. This procedure has significantly reduced the biases and is considered acceptable for each satellite area. Based on the results of the statistical analysis and by applying the precipitation threshold criteria, the accuracy of the predictions in each observation area is quite good, ranging from 0.59 to 1.0. Precipitation with a threshold of 50 mm/day or higher exhibits good accuracy, with a minimum value of 0.59 for RI and a maximum value of 0.97 for RIII and RV. On the other hand, precipitation with a threshold of 20 mm/day or higher demonstrates very good accuracy, with values of 0.97 for RI and 1.00 for RIII to RVI. © 2024 The Authors |
