Visualizing Extreme Weather Events from the WRF Simulation

Overview

KVL in collaboration with Prof. Ibrahim Hoteit's group visualized a simulation of the extreme rain event that happened in Jeddah on November 22, 2022. This event caused massive damage from flooding, so understanding how this storm formed and ways that it could have been better predicted in order to warn the population is critical.
