Examples of use of wrf
1. Known as ARW, the computer model is NCAR‘s research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), a joint effort by university and government scientists.
2. The Environmental Modeling Center and the National Center for Atmospheric Research provided very high resolution WRF model forecasts designed to predict thunderstorm systems and other hazardous weather events in much greater detail than current forecast models.
3. The predictions were made from several different versions of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, an advanced weather prediction system being designed for use by research scientists and forecasters in the United States.
4. This version of the WRF model has the capability to predict individual severe thunderstorms called supercells, which produce a disproportionate number of tornadoes, very large hail and damaging wind events each year.
5. They used 2000 processors at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center to produce daily WRF model forecasts having twice the horizontal resolution and nearly 50 percent greater vertical resolution than the other two experimental products.
