Realism of rainfall in a very high-resolution regional climate model [PDF]

, 2012
The realistic representation of rainfall on the local scale in climate models remains a key challenge. Realism encompasses the full spatial and temporal structure of rainfall, and is a key indicator of model skill in representing the underlying processes.

Impact of green roofs on heavy rainfall in tropical, coastal urban area

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Green Roofs (GRs) are one of the measures considered for Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigation. The cooling effects of GRs are well studied in the literature. However, previous work has not addressed the impacts of GRs on heavy rainfall in cities.

Mitigation Effect of Dense “Water Network” on Heavy PM_2.5 Pollution: A Case Model of the Twain-Hu Basin, Central China

Toxics, 2023
The influence of the underlying surface on the atmospheric environment over rivers and lakes is not fully understood. To improve our understanding, this study targeted the Twain-Hu Basin (THB) in central China, with a unique underlying surface comprising

Numerical modelling of heavy rainfall event over Madeira Island in Portugal: sensitivity to different micro physical processes [PDF]

, 2015
Madeira Island, Portugal, experienced intense heavy rainfall on 20 February 2010 which caused loss of more than 40 lives and great damage. This is recorded as one of the major flash flood events during the past three decades.
