TY - BOOK ID - 145037610 TI - Atmospheric Moisture Effects on Deep Convection in the Western Mediterranean PY - 2019 PB - Karlsruhe : KIT Scientific Publishing, DB - UniCat KW - Evaporation (Meteorology) UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:145037610 AB - Improving the understanding and representation of heavy precipitation is crucial to prevent its hazards. A powerful means to reduce errors is to assimilate high-resolution humidity GPS observations. Here, novel experiments employing sub-hourly atmospheric GPS, in-situ observations and nudging are used to study the impact of moisture corrections on convection. This work adds new explanations on the sensitivity of extreme precipitation to moisture changes and on the added value of nudging GPS. ER -
