Urbanization Impacts on Pearl River Delta Extreme Rainfall Sensitivity to Land Cover Change Versus Anthropogenic Heat

Abstract Impacts of urban land cover and anthropogenic heat (AH) on extreme local rainfall over the coastal Pearl River Delta (PRD) megacity region during boreal summer are investigated by conducting numerical experiments using the Weather Research and Forecastingmodel coupled with a single‐layer ur...
