Prediction of high impact rainfall events of summer monsoon over Bangladesh using high resolution MM5 model
An attempt has been made to predict the high impact rainfall events of summer monsoon over Bangladesh using the Fifth-Generation PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) conducting two historical rainfall events on 11 June 2007 and 14 September 2004. The model was run on two way triple-nested domains at 45, 15, 5 km horizontal resolutions using Anthes-Kuo cumulus parameterization schemes (CPS) with MRF planetary boundary layer (PBL). Bangladesh is the main focus area in this study. Thus Bangladesh is taken as inner most (D3) domain with 5 km horizontal resolution to study the variability of predicted rainfall. The model predicted rainfall was compared with TRMM 3B42V6 and BMD observed rainfall.
