Scaling relations in warm-rain orographic precipitation

Warm-rain orographic precipitation at an isolated mountain is studied by numerical experiments using the non-hydrostatic COSMO model. The simulations are analyzed to derive scaling relations for the precipitation efficiency as a function of the relevant microphysical and advective timescales and Fro...
