“…The model requires the specification of initial conditions for the entire modeling domain and the lateral boundary conditions for the whole period of the model integration. Surface representation based on topography and land use could be a simple thermal diffusion model or a detailed land surface model with extensive surface and vegetation hydrology (Tewari et al, 2008). In the current application we used WRF coupled with Noah land surface model (Noah LSM) (Mitchell, 2005).…”

“…In many cases, UHI can increase the rainfall in the vicinity of the cities. A number of studies have found an increase in rainfall in regions downwind of urban areas, with increases as high as 25 % in some cases (Shepherd et al, 2002;Mote et al, 2007).…”

“…Heatwaves, heavy rain and flooding produce more harmful effects in urban areas than in rural areas. Moreover, the peculiarity of urban areas may enhance convective precipitation (Thielen et al, 2000;Shepherd et al, 2002;Collier, 2006). The enhancement of convergence and convection above large urban area (Atlanta, New York, Saint Louis, Seoul) have indeed been used by several authors to explain the enhancement of precipitation (Baik et al, 2001;Rozoff et al, 2002;Dixon and Mote, 2003).…”

“…Urban-industrial complexes have changed dramatically in a relatively short period [1] and many atmospheric conditions have been modified within the urban environment including airflow [2,3] albedo and emissivity [4][5][6], humidity [7,8], precipitation [9,10], and roughness length [11,12]. Because of the varied surface conditions between urban and rural zones, urban areas worldwide have yielded warmer conditions when compared to nearby rural areas [13][14][15].…”
