Nowcasting of a Warm‐Sector Rainfall Event in Southern China With the TRAMS Model: Sensitivity to Different Radar Reflectivity Retrieval Methods and Incremental Updating Strategies... by Xiaoxia Lin, Yerong Feng, Yuntao Jian, Daosheng Xu, Jincan Huang, Haowei Chen, Banglin Zhang

“…Extending the IAU relaxation time from 4 to 10 min has almost no impact on the actual forecasting. However, prioritizing the adjustment of the wind field through time‐dependent IAU weighting factors, the impact of cloud particle adjustments on the dynamical field can be avoided (e.g., the drag caused by the sinking of cloud particles may offset the upward motion induced by dynamical convergence adjustments). …”
