GORDON EXTRA-TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER PORTUGAL: A CASE STUDY WITH WRF (version 2.2)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 2.2 version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model has been used to investigate the atmospheric behavior on extreme weather events, such as the passage of the Gordon extra-tropical depression over the Iberian Peninsula, on September 21st, 2006. The study of this particular event has been conducted using two nested domains, with 15 and 3 km resolution, respectively, and its results are directly compared with observational data collected by several Automatic Meteorological Stations, from the Portuguese Meteorological Institute, for the time span of the event.

Improving Wind and Rain Simulations for Tropical Cyclones with the Assimilation of Doppler Radar Data
More accurate prediction of the strong winds and heavy rain associated with tropical cyclones using numerical weather prediction (NWP) models would be helpful in the provision of weather services for the public. In this paper, the impact of assimilating radar data in the simulation of Typhoon Neoguri and Severe Tropical Storm Kammuri in 2008 is studied using Weather Research and Forecasting (WR...
متن کاملDevelopment and testing of Polar Weather Research and Forecasting model: 2. Arctic Ocean
[1] A version of the state-of-the-art Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) has been developed for polar applications. The model known as ‘‘Polar WRF’’ is tested over the Arctic Ocean with a western Arctic grid using 25-km resolution. The model is based upon WRF version 2.2, with improvements to the Noah land surface model and the snowpack treatment. The ocean surface treatment is modifi...
متن کاملSimulation of rainfall temporal distribution pattern using WRF Model (case study of Parsian dam basin)
During the rainfall, the intensity of precipitation varies. Changes in the amount of precipitation during an event of rainfall are effective in the resulting of flood and its intensity. Knowledge of how rainfall changes over time during rainfall is determined by temporal distribution pattern of rainfall. For this purpose, availability of short-term time scales rainfalls data are important that ...
متن کاملS WVRFf - Var Implementation for Data Assimilation
The goal of this Masters project is to implement the WRF model with 3D variational assimilation (3DVAR) at MIT. A working version of WRF extends the scope of experimentation to mesoscale problems in both real and idealized scenarios. A state-of-the-art model and assimilation package can now be used to conduct science or as a benchmark to compare new methods with. The second goal of this project...

The present study is carried out to investigate the performance of different cumulus convection, planetary boundary layer, land surface processes, and microphysics parameterization schemes in the simulation of a very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS) Nargis (2008), developed in the central Bay of Bengal on 27 April 2008. For this purpose, the nonhydrostatic mesoscale model (NMM) dynamic core of weat...
