Short summary
Initial and boundary condition data from the 20th Century Reanalysis Project in ensemble mode are used to address the feasibility of performing cloud-resolving simulations with 1 km horizontal grid spacing of a historic extreme event that occurred over Liguria: the 1915 San Fruttuoso case. The proposed approach focuses on the ensemble Weather Research and Forecasting model runs that show strong convergence over the Ligurian Sea, as these runs are the ones most likely to best simulate the event.
