Abstract

A newly developed non-hydrostatic model (MOLOCH), operating at a resolution of about 2 km, is run for a case of heavy precipitation over southeastern France. The event (8–9 September 2002) was characterized by intense convective activity leading to a severe flash flood in the region of the Gard river, south of the Massif Central. An almost stationary mesoscale convective system (MCS), developing well in advance of an approaching cold front, discharged a huge amount of rainfall over the same area, more than 600 mm in 24 hours.
