Summer mesoscale convective systems in convection-permitting simulation using WRF over East China

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are active in East China during the summer, causing significant precipitation and extreme weather. Increasing MCS frequency and intensity highlight the need for better simulation and forecasting. Traditional global and regional models with coarse resolution unable to explicitly resolve convection fail to represent MCSs and their precipitation accurately. This study conducted a 22-year (2000--2021) JJA simulation at a convection-permitting resolution (4km) using the WRF model (WRF-CPM) over East China. The data generated and the code used to analyze are uploaded here.
