Abstract
The performance of the WRF-Single-Moment-Microphysics scheme (WSMMP) for the heavy rainfall events occuring of 14-15 July 2001 over Korea and in the Central Great Plains of United States on 15 June 2002 was examined. The WSMMP microphysics scheme enhanced the rainfall amount against the existing cloud scheme and alleviates the discontinuity of vertical distribution of cloud ice, which was more realistic. A significant amount of precipitation was also recorded just south of the border between the North and South Korea on 15 July 2001. During the heavy precipitation over the Korean peninsula, high-pressure systems located on the north of Korea prevented a monsoon front from moving northward, thus the monsoon front was tied up over Korean region.
