Abstract
A method of optimizing a probability of precipitation forecast is provided. The method includes uniquely associating, based on a data segment definition, a spatiotemporal subregion with a probability of precipitation forecasting algorithm of two or more probability of precipitation forecasting algorithms. The method further includes selecting climatological data meeting the data segment definition and calibrating, using the selected climatological data meeting the data segment definition, the probability of precipitation forecasting algorithm associated with the spatiotemporal subregion.
