Plan • Results • Sensitivity to convective closure schemes and boundary conditions • Sensitivity to soil moisture • Sensitivity to domain size and resolution • Conclusion
CC shemes & BCs - Psurface (monthly mean) Arakawa-Schubert Fritsch-Chappell NCEP ECMWF
CC shemes & BCs – T2m (monthly mean) Arakawa-Schubert Fritsch-Chappell CRU NCEP ECMWF
CC shemes & BCs - precipitation (monthly rate) Arakawa-Schubert Fritsch-Chappell CRU NCEP ECMWF
CC shemes & BCs - Precipitation (6h) Average on the flood area Arakawa-Schubert Fritsch-Chappell NCEP ECMWF
Plan • Results • Sensitivity to convective closure schemes and boundary conditions • Sensitivity to soil moisture • Sensitivity to domain size and resolution • Conclusion
Sensitivity to soil moisture How the soil moisture can influence the precipitation ? Initial soil moisture in andaround the flood areaset to 100%. • Precipitation for the 2 flood peaks

Plan • Simulations setup • Results • Sensitivity to • convective closure schemes • boundary conditions Does the soil moisture matter for the peak flood ? • Sensitivity to the domain size and the resolution • Conclusion
Preliminary conclusion • Sensitivity to forcing fields • no difference for monthly mean T2m and Psurface • NCEP seems dryer than ECMWF • Sensitivity to convective closure schemes • no difference for monthly mean T2m and Psurface • regional precipitation pattern captured • flood peaks more or less corresponding to the real situation • Sensitivity to soil moisture • difficult to say, more investigation needed • Sensitivity to domain size and resolution • more detailed convective precipitation pattern for higher resolution
Last words … Our first conclusion was : “Still a lot of very hard work and white nights …” Thanks for your patience ! That was true !!
Sensitivity to CC schemes and BCs • Domain • “small” domain (40*50*18) • 60 km resolution • Convective closure schemes • Arakawa & Schubert • Fritsch & Chappell • Boundary conditions • NCEP • ECMWF • Monthly/daily pressure, temperature and precipitation
