Short summary
In this paper a Himalayan cloudburst event is investigated. The conditions of formation, evolution, and triggering mechanisms of this cloudburst are studied, looking at varieties of observed data sets and simulation with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. This cloudburst event is attributed to two mesoscale convective systems originating from Madhya Pradesh and Tibet which interacted over Uttarkashi, and under orographic uplifting in the presence of favorable moisture conditions.
