Effect of explicit urban land surface representation on the simulation of the 26 July 2005 heavy rain event over Mumbai, India

We investigate whether explicit representation of the urban land surface improves the simulation of the record-breaking 24-h heavy rain event that occurred over Mumbai, India on 26 July 2005 as the event has been poorly simulated by operational weather forecasting models. We conducted experiments us...
