1. Grid-to-grid
Model mixing ratio’s (RWMR[T>0]/SNMR) vs. MRMS ptype (rain/snow/none)
Evaluation regarding how well each model explicit mixing ratios (>0 – could be very small) compared to the precipitation type information in the MRMS dataset (e.g., how well do the models discriminate precipitation type of rain or snow?)
