Sensitivity of Microphysical Schemes to Predict Induced Rainfall

In the present study, numerical simulation is carried out in the mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) platform to determine the best set of physics options for better prediction of hydrometers to capture industrial effects. Angul region (20.85ºN, 85.19ºE) in Odisha state is chosen as the study region for this purpose since the region houses a lot of industries. A comparative study is done with different microphysics (MP) options available in the WRF model. From this sensitivity study, it has been found WDM6 based MP scheme is better at predicting industry-induced rainfall.
