Abstract

This article is devoted to the investigation of relation between really observed me-
teorological parameters and the forecast of the same parameters produced by a nu-
merical weather prediction system. A statistical correction method of the output from
the model of the system is suggested which improves the forecast by coe±cient of
overlapping, root mean square error and Pearson's correlation.
