Goals
- Genesis of extreme precipitation on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea (synoptic or mesoscale effects?)
- Quantitative estimations of the mesoscale effects on the extreme precipitation (in the light of possible enhancement of the “lake effect” in the future climate)
- Ability of mesoscale numerical model to simulate extreme precipitation on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea
