Convection Parametrization and Multi-Nesting Dependence of a Heavy Rainfall Event over Namibia
ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Toshihisa Matsui is a co-author on a new international paper in Climate titled “Convection Parametrization and Multi-Nesting Dependence of a Heavy Rainfall Event over Namibia with Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model”. In the study, Matsui and international co-authors investigate the effects of using multi-nests and a convection scheme, numerical weather prediction models, on the simulation of a heavy rainfall event over the north-western region of Kunene, Namibia.
