Cumulus parameterization controls simulated rainfall more than microphysics, but not at heavy thresholds: a 3 * 2 factorial WRF study over the Western Himalaya
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.
