The effect of flow and orography on the spatial distribution of the very short-term predictability of rainfall from composite radar images [PDF]
The spatial distribution and scale dependence of the very short-term predictability of precipitation by Lagrangian persistence of composite radar images is studied under different flow regimes in connection with the presence of orographic features.
