Evaluation and Application of the Weather Research and Forecast Model
Abstract
The Advanced Research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-ARM) was studied by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to determine how accurate and robust the model is under a variety of meteorological conditions, with an emphasis on fine resolution, short-range forecasts in complex terrain. This model study was done in support of the short-range Army tactical analysis/nowcasting system called the Weather Running Estimate-Nowcast (WRE-N) as well as for longer-range forecasting support. While much of the study centered on basic model output such as temperature, moisture, wind direction, and wind speed, the WRF parameterizations and output were also examined.
