Urban modification of heavy rainfall: a model case study for Bhubaneswar urban region
Abstract
Highlights • Realistic representation of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes improves the prediction of convection over urban regimes. • The 2019 urban amalgamation in LULC spread in the weather model discloses that the rainfall intensity has increased compared to the 1980 LULC simulation • The maximum rainfall limited to a shorter spell (~1 hour), due to the urban heating effect.
