In order to implement the localized application of ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting) model well and improve the accuracy of precipitation forecast in Sichuan Province, the systematic deviation characteristics of forecast of precipitation with various magnitudes from ECMWF model were analyzed from July to September during 2020-2021. The result shows that the rain days forecasted by ECMWF model are more than the observations in Sichuan Province from July to September during 2020-2021, especially in Panxi region and western Sichuan Plateau. The heavy rain days forecasted by the model are more than the observations in southwestern Basin and Panxi region, while they are less than the observations in southern Basin. Then, the correction experiment about 24-hour cumulative precipitation forecast was carried out based on quantile mapping method, and it was applied to heavy rainfall forecast. After the correction using quantile mapping method, the TS (Threat Score) of forecast of rainstorm and above is improved by 7%-15%, and the TS of forecast of precipitation with various magnitudes is 2%-4% higher than the multi-model integrated objective forecast products. The POD (Probability of Detection) of forecast of heavy rain, rainstorm and above is improved by 10%-20%. The corrected location of rain belt in particular rainstorm areas is closer to the actual.

Based on topography and forecasted 3-hour wind fields, relative humidity fields initialed from 20:00 BST and 08:00 BST by using the SWCWARMS (southwest center WRF ADAS real-time modeling system), the precipitation correction equation was constructed by calculating the terrain precipitation estimates combined with precipitation fields forecasted by SWCWARMS. The daily precipitation, precipitation processes in Sichuan Basin and in western Sichuan Basin during flood season from June to August during 2018-2020 are corrected, and the precipitation in the steep terrain transition zone from the eastern slope of western Sichuan Plateau to the western Sichuan Basin was tested and evalcated only. The results are as follows: (1) The TS of the precipitation correction value with each magnitude was improved compared with TS of forecasted precipitation by the SWCWARMS. The correction effect of precipitation forecasted initialed from 20:00 BST was better than that initialed from 08:00, and the correction effect of the precipitation processes in western Sichuan Province was the best for heavy rain and above. Compared with the SWCWARMS, the relative improvement rates of TS of corrected value of precipitation with heavy rain, torrential rain and heavy downpour were 19%, 25% and 37%, respectively, the hit ratio was higher, the false alarm rate and miss rate were decreased significantly. (2) The correction equations of precipitation had a good correction effect on both torrential rain and general precipitation cases of precipitation processes in western Sichuan Province occurring in the steep terrain transition zone, even for cases of precipitation area predicted by the SWCWARMS was far from the actual situation.
