Abstract: Taking precipitation processes at the edge of subtropical high as target objects, three typical sub-regions including the southern foothills of Taihang Mountains, the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountains, and the eastern plains in Huanghuai Region are investigated, according to the topography and precipitation distribution characteristics. On this basis, using multi-source fusion precipitation data of National Meteorological Information Center, the precipitation refinement verification index, FSS (fractional skill score) and STFSS (spatial temporal fractional skill score) that adds the temporal neighborhood are used to evaluate the forecasting performance of the precipitation diurnal variation of CMA-MESO and CMA-SH9. The results show that the precipitation frequency and intensity by CMA-MESO in mountainous areas are smaller than observations, leading to significant underestimation, while results by CMA-SH9 are both stronger. The deviation of precipitation amount forecast of CMA-MESO in plain area mainly comes from the deviation of precipitation frequency. The precipitation intensity forecast by CMA-SH9 is stronger than observations in the southern foothills of Taihang Mountains, and the forecast precipitation frequency in the afternoon is significantly larger. For the early morning to morning period in the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountains, the frequency of precipitation by CMA-MESO is significantly lower than observations, while the diurnal variation of precipitation intensity is better than that of CMA-SH9. For the eastern plains, the overestimation of precipitation in early evening by CMA-SH9 mainly comes from the significantly larger precipitation intensity, while CMA-MESO significantly underestimates the frequency of precipitation in early evening and early morning. Based on the analysis of FSS, CMA-MESO is superior to CMA-SH9 in hourly precipitation forecast of more than 10 mm during afternoon to mid-night in the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountains and 0200 BT to 0400 BT in the night in the eastern plains, but the conclusion is opposite in the southern foothills of Taihang Mountains in the nighttime. STFSS can better evaluate the temporal and spatial uncertainty of hourly precipitation forecasts. Precipitation forecasts of CMA-SH9 in southern foothills of Taihang Mountains from the afternoon to the first half of the night significantly lag behind observations, but its spatial-deviation-scale and performance is better than CMA-MESO. The precipitation forecast of CMA-MESO from 0200 BT to 0800 BT in the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountains is significantly ahead of observations, and the advance time is more obvious in the eastern plains in the morning.
