Convective precipitation simulated with ICON over heterogeneous surfaces in dependence on model and land-surface resolution

Download or read book Convective precipitation simulated with ICON over heterogeneous surfaces in dependence on model and land-surface resolution written by Singh, Shweta and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of land-surface properties like vegetation, soil type, soil moisture, and the orography on the atmosphere is manifold. These features determine the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer, convective conditions, cloud evolution and precipitation. The impact of model grid spacing and land-surface resolution on convective precipitation over heterogeneous surfaces is investigated using ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) simulations within the framework of the HD(CP)2 project.
