Tramblay et al. (2018) Future evolution of extreme precipitation in the Mediterranean
This study evaluates the hourly precipitation performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for 45 extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in northeastern Spain, classifying events by their hourly distribution and testing various microphysics and planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations. It finds that microphysics schemes are more critical than PBL schemes, with Goddard and Thompson microphysics combined with MYNN PBL generally performing better, though no single optimal combination exists for all event types.
