AB The Canary Islands are characterized by having a mild and dry climatethroughout the year, however, rainfall is more abundant than expected due to the reliefof the islands. Furthermore, under specific meteorological circumstances, theorography of the islands produces an amplifying effect, causing severe localprecipitation events. The importance of predicting these events is key for aeronauticalnavigation, agriculture, sports and, especially, the prevention of natural disasters.Specifically, this work will study the heavy rains that took place in Santa Cruz deTenerife in 2002 and caused floods throughout the capital, losses worth millions ofeuros and the death of eight people. Furthermore, the AEMET was not able to predictthe magnitude of these precipitations, so the population was not alerted.Likewise, the AEMET carried out a subsequent study in which they tried toreproduce these precipitations by analyzing in depth the wind and pressure fields andthe convective structures. In addition, they carried out some simulations modifying theresolution to try to improve the results. However, due to the complexity of thephenomenon and the scarcity of data, they did not succeed.In this work, the same day will be analyzed with the WRF model to try toreplicate these atmospheric conditions. For this, several simulations will be carried outusing different parameters to determine which set of them provides results closest tothe event that occurred on the island of Tenerife.
