Numerical Study of the Impact of Complex Terrain and Soil Moisture on Convective Initiation

The relative importance of topography and soil moisture on the initiation of an afternoon deep convection under weak synoptic-scale forcing was investigated using the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model with high resolution (1.33 km). The convection occurred on 29 June 2017, over the Liupan...
