About Slovakia WRF ARW model

Posted by • pb

Grid resolution: 5km
Grid size: 100x60 grid points
Physics: [6] WSM 6-class graupel scheme suitable for high-resolution simulations
Cumulus option: [1] Kain-Fritsch scheme (causes overprediction of summer storms, but area is correct)
Hardware: Pentium Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10GHz
Software: Cygwin @ Windows 7
Run-time: ~3.5h to simulate 72h forecast

Topological model resolution: 5km vs. 3km vs. 500m

Resolution: 5km

Resolution: 3km
Mind that the simulation may take up to 4 times longer compared to 5km.

Resolution: 500m
Need to buy some Maramba's...
