Cumulus parameterization controls simulated rainfall more than microphysics, but not at heavy thresholds: a 3 * 2 factorial WRF study over the Western Himalaya
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Rainfall forecasts over the Western Himalaya remain poor, and the relative contributions of the cumulus and microphysics parameterizations to that error are not well constrained.
