This study investigates the simulation of heavy precipitation events over the West Coast of India associated with atmospheric rivers using the ARW-WRF model. The sensitivity of different parameterization schemes was evaluated, with deviations and advantages observed in the model simulations.
This study attempts to investigate the simulation of heavy precipitation events (HPEs) over the West Coast of India associated with atmospheric rivers (ARs) using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW-WRF) model. The study evaluates the sensitivity of five microphysical (Lin, WSM6, Goddard, Thompson, and Morrison) and cumulus (KF, BMJ, Grell3D, Tidtke, and GD) parameterization schemes to explore the capability to reproduce the AR associated HPEs. The model simulations were reasonably successful at reproducing key structural and synoptic characteristics of atmospheric rivers, including well-defined corridors of strong water vapor transport, meteorological variables and circulation features. Deviations in Rainfall and Wind profiles were observed in simulations among the different parameterization schemes. The model better simulated the AR related precipitation using the Lin, Thompson MP and KF, Grell3D CU schemes when compared to observations, and attributed to the moisture laden tendency of the schemes. Nonetheless, differences in precipitation distribution and overestimation of winds among the model runs using different microphysical and cumulus physics schemes were noted. The study highlights that simulation of AR associated HPEs using high-resolution mesoscale mode with suitable representations of physical parameterization schemes are useful for disaster management and to minimize the loss of fatalities and property.
