A methodology is proposed to assess spatial biases in convection\u2010permitting model rainfall forecasts, the procedure identifies preferential misplacement directions made by the meteorological model and incorporates this uncertainty into hydrological predictions. The approach was conducted on 64 significant convective rainfall events in the \u201chydraulic node of Milan\u201d (Northern Italy) during 2013\u20132022. Quantitative precipitation forecasts from the MOLOCH (ISAC-CNR) meteorological model were compared with observed rainfall fields. Displacement errors were quantified using pattern matching, revealing a consistent northeast bias. Kernel Density Estimation was then used to derive a bidimensional displacement probability density function, this enables probabilistic forecast generation to quantify rainfall misplacement uncertainty effects on hydrological forecast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker\u2019s bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"black\" data-ogsb=\"rgb(255, 255, 255)\">\n<p class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"black\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Enrico holds a M.Sc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering, obtained at Politecnico di Milano in 2021.
