Relief shapes and precipitation on the south side of the Alps Part II: Heavy-rain cases during MAP and sensitivity to topography modifications

There are two distinct climatological precipitation maxima on the south side of the Alps and an area of reduced precipitation between them. We tested the impact of meso-beta details of topography on precipitation by simulating 15 cases of heavy precipitation during the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MA...
