ABSTRACT: An attempt has been made to simulate the rainfall of 25 June, 2019 over Sylhet, Bangladesh due to orography using WRF model. The model has been run in a single domain of 10 km horizontal resolution for 48-h and 72-h using six hourly global final datasets from 0000 UTC of each initial day of the event as initial and lateral boundary conditionswith NSSL 2-moment microphysics scheme, Kain–Fritsch cumulous scheme and Yonsei University PBL scheme after sensitivity test in terms of RMSE. The model simulated mean sea level pressure, wind, vorticity, wind shear, humidity, CAPE, CIN, Lifted Index, K-index, Total Total Index and rainfall are analyzed. These weather parameters are visualized by GrADS......
Keywords: CAPE, CIN, LI, TTI, TRMM and ECMWF
