Improving heavy rainfall forecasts by assimilating surface precipitation in the convective scale model AROME: A case study of the Mediterranean event of November 4, 2017

Abstract The ability of precipitation assimilation is assessed in a convective scale model in order to improve the precipitation forecast for a Mediterranean heavy rain event that took place on November 4, 2017. The proposed assimilation method is based on a two‐step approach. First, one‐dimensional...
