WRF User's Workshop Assessment of the WRF Model for Use in Regional Predictability Studies Joshua P. Hacker and Dave P. Baumhefner (NCAR) Motivation Approach building a house Early results Future directions
2
WRF User's Workshop Why Care? Understand the capabilities and limitations of a current-generation grid point LAM Create a stronger foundation for regional predictability studies To what extent can we treat WRF as a proxy for the real atmosphere?
