Short summary
We developed a contrastive learning method (CLPFV - contrastive learning-based precipitation forecast verification) to improve the accuracy of precipitation forecast verification. The proposed method uses precipitation augmentation to simulate real-world forecast errors with gradients and then employs an improved loss function to reflect these errors in the contrastive learning. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms traditional and spatial verification methods across different error types and aligns better with expert judgment.
