The Himalayan climate system is highly susceptible to global and local climate change, and there is ongoing concern about current and potential climate change impacts. In this study, the ERA-Interim dataset (January to May) over the Garhwal Himalayas has been downscaled using the high-resolution (6 km) WRF model and several sensitivity studies have been carried out using microphysics schemes. The downscaled precipitation pattern has sharp features unlike that of ERA-Interim. The WRF model simulated precipitation from various sensitivity experiments has been compared. It is found that there is a shift in the location of maximum precipitation zone in Morrison and Thompson schemes as compared to WSM6 during winter.
