The sensitivity of intense rainfall to aerosol particle loading – a
comparison of bin-resolved microphysics modelling with
observations of heavy precipitation from HyMeX IOP7a
Abstract:Abstract. Over the Cévennes-Vivarais region in southern France five hour intensive rainfall covering an area of 1000 km2 with more than 50 mm rain accumulation was observed during IOP7a of HyMeX. This study evaluates the performance of a bin resolved cloud model for simulating this heavy precipitation event. The simulation results were compared with observations of rain accumulation, radar reflectivity, temporal and spatial evolution of precipitation, 5 minutes rain rates and raindrop size distributions (DSD).… Show more
