Figure 4

Comparison between NTHF prediction and TRMM. (a) Accumulated precipitation in first six hours, predicted by NTHF for Hurricane Irma at 1800 UTC, September 8, 2017. (b) Accumulated precipitation obtained from TRMM for the same hurricane, date, and time. (c) Difference between both graphics, providing bias values from the grid points. Stars represent the centre of the storm as the best track (black star) and NTHF forecast (red star).
