Provenance Precipitation is computed by HARMONIE-AROME
Validation The simulations made by HARMONIE-AROME in Urban SIS has been validated against observations in Urban SIS deliverable 5.1, where an overview is given in Table 4. For precipitation a more extensive analysis have been made in section 4.2. Further validations of the precipitation simulations is described in Urban SIS deliverable 5.3, where in particular section 4.1 gives a more in depth validation for hydrology.
