“…In spite of the increasing computer power in recent years, the validation of model precipitation amounts and affected regions show that this meteorological variable is still difficult to simulate and predict with accuracy (Rakesh et al, 2009;Wenshi et al, 2000;Wang and Seaman, 1997). Additionally to the parameterisation choices, the prediction skills of the precipitation amounts, as well as its spatio end temporal patterns, is also dependent on the season of year, weather system, domain configuration and the accuracy of the physiographic databases available.…”
