Abstract
In this article results of climatological considerations with respect to daily high precipitation amount in the Alps and northern Italy and corresponding synoptic weather situations have been shown. After a short description of the numerical atmospheric simulation model COSMO, results of model runs performed on the super computer HP XC4000 of the SSC have been shown. The COSMO model is a limited-area numerical weather forecast model, which has been designed for the simulation of meteorological phenomena on the meso-scale. Its basic version has been developed mainly at the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). Since a few years the model development is continued by the COnsortium for Small-scale MOdelling (COSMO), a group of several national weather services in Europe, which use the COSMO model as operational weather forecast model (http://www.cosmo-model.org).
