A numerical investigation of a moderate coastal storm with intense precipitation

Abstract

In this study, thé development of a moderate coastal storm with intense précipi-tation that occurred during 12-14 February 1993 is examined using a high-resolution version ofthe Canadien Régional Finite-element (RFE) model with more realistic physical représen-tations. It is shown that thé improved RFE model predicts well thé coastal cyclogenesis events and also thé distribution and intensity ofheavy mixed précipitation (rain and snow) associ
