Sensitivity simulations of orographic precipitation with MM5 and comparison with observations in Iceland during the Reykjanes Experiment

This paper presents a study of the sensitivity of numerically simulated precipitation across a mesoscale mountain range to horizontal resolution, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) spectrum, initiation of cloud ice, numerical treatment of horizontal diffusion and initial and boundary conditions. The fi...
