Figure 4

(a) Hourly ensemble QPF using different physical configurations of the WRF model over the Iguaçu watershed for August 01/02, 2009. The black line represents the observed precipitation over the watershed. Reflectivity images at 0.5° elevation from S-Band Doppler radar show a stratiform cold frontal rain at 0746 UTC August 01, 2009 (b), and a squall line through the watershed at 1008 UTC August 02, 2009 (c).
