Insights to WRF-Chem sensitivity in a zone of complex terrain in the tropical Andes: Effect of boundary conditions, chemical mechanisms, nesting, and domain configuration

Atmospheric Pollution Research, 2021
Abstract The ability of the weather research and forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem) to represent atmospheric processes relies on the accuracy of the input information and the configuration of the model itself. In this study, WRF-Chem was used to test the sensitivity of O3, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 predictions to lateral chemical boundary ...

Space–time variation of large hail‐producing mesoscale convective systems over a complex terrain of the Indian subcontinent as revealed by the integrated Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and Global Precipitation Measurement observations

International Journal of Climatology, 2023
AbstractSpace–time variation of large hail‐producing mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) is investigated over the eastern and northeastern parts of the Indian subcontinent during the premonsoon (March–April–May) season by using long‐term (1998–2020) integrated observations of Precipitation Radar and Microwave Imager onboard the Tropical Rainfall ...

Multi-level constraints wind farms siting for a complex terrain in a tropical region using MCDM approach coupled with GIS

Energy, 2020
Abstract This paper presents a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) process together with Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyse multiple constraints that affect the siting of wind farms. Firstly, exclusion zones are identified and are removed from the potential wind farm placement regions of the wind resource map layer.

Evaluation Through Independent Measurements: Complex Terrain and Humid Tropical Region in Ethiopia

2009
Evaluation of satellite rainfall products was conducted using ground-based daily rainfall measurements at 22 locations within a grid of 5×5 km collected during summer monsoon 2008 in a very complex terrain and humid tropical region in Ethiopia. Two high-resolution satellite rainfall products, namely, PERSIANN-CCS available at 1-h and 0.04° resolution ...

Terminal Doppler Weather Radar Observation of Atmospheric Flow over Complex Terrain during Tropical Cyclone Passages

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2003
A Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) started operation in Hong Kong, China, in 1997 for monitoring wind shear associated with thunderstorms affecting the Hong Kong International Airport. The airport was built on land reclaimed from the sea and lies to the immediate north of the mountainous Lantau Island, which has hills rising to nearly 1000 m ...

The Impact of Urbanization on Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Over Complex Coastal Terrain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres
Abstract Rapid coastal urbanization alters land–atmosphere interactions and can modify tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall. This study examines urbanization effects on TC rainfall in the Yongjiang River basin, China, using the Weather Research and Forecasting model.

WRF downscaling improves ERA-Interim representation of precipitation around a tropical Andean valley during El Niño: implications for GCM-scale simulation of precipitation over complex terrain

Climate Dynamics, 2018
Precipitation in the tropical Andes is strongly influenced by the ENSO phases and orographic effects. In particular, precipitation can be drastically reduced during El Nino. Decision-making about water resources relies on modelling precipitation as the main source for water availability.
