Evaluation of multi-source WRF data assimilation for a surface-reaching tropical hail event in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: a case study
Surface-reaching hail in the humid tropics is rare because hailstones must survive descent through a high freezing level and deep warm layer. This study evaluates how multi-source WRFDA-3DVAR data assimilation affects the representation of tropical convection that produced surface-reaching hail over Yogyakarta, Indones...
