TL;DR: In this article, precipitation intensity, duration, frequency, and phase are as much of concern as total amounts, as these factors determine the disposition of precipitation once it hits the ground and how much runs off.

TL;DR: In this article, a new bulk microphysical parameterization (BMP) was developed for use with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model or other mesoscale models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the sensitivity of winter precipitation to various aspects of a bulk, mixed-phase microphysical parameterization found in three widely used mesoscale models [the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5), the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC), and the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model].

TL;DR: In this article, an explicit microphysical parametrization including ice physics was developed for use in the NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model Version 5 (MM5), which includes three options of increasing complexity to represent the hydrometeor species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used observations and high-resolution modeling to show that rainfall changes related to rising temperatures depend on the available atmospheric moisture, and that the scaling rates between extreme precipitation and temperature are strongly dependent on the region, temperature, and moisture availability.
