TESTING OF THE WRF MODEL FOR FORECASTING THE NOVOROSSIYSK BORA
Abstract
Possible application of a mesoscale non-hydrostatic version of the WRF-ARW model for forecasting theNovorossiyskbora is analyzed. Eight numerical experiments were carried out with different boundary and initial conditions, parameters of physical processes and resolution of computational grid. Large amount of data collected during field investigations of theNovorossiyskbora allowed thorough verification of the modeling results. Optimum configuration of the model for numerical modeling of theNovorossiyskbora was suggested basing on the evaluation.
