Abstract Dynamical downscaling generally performs poorly on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), due to region’s complex topography and several aspects of model physics, especially convection land surface processes. This study investigated effects cumulus parameterization scheme (CPS) land-surface hydrology (LSHS) TP climate simulation during wet season using RegCM4 regional model. To address these issues...

A machine-learning-assisted stochastic cloud population model is coupled with the Advanced Research Weather and Forecasting (WRF) to represent fluctuations in cloud-base mass flux associated life cycles interactions among cumulus convection cells. In this model, size distribution of convective cells are related their previous state change total area via a transition function. The tendency turn ...

Simulating high-intensity rainfall events that trigger local floods using a Numerical Weather Prediction model is challenging as rain-bearing systems are highly complex and localized. In this study, we analyze the performance of Research Forecasting (WRF) model’s capability in simulating event variety parameterization combinations over Kampala catchment, Uganda. The study uses caused flood haza...
