4/3-km Simulations of WRF for 2014 and 2015 Cases

The Problems

No low clouds and poor representation of inversion.

Working on Solutions

To help fix these, several approaches have been tried:
1) adding more vertical levels
2) adding more vertical levels and turning off diffusion
3) using RAP
The loops in this table illustrate the attempts and how they impact the simulations.

casedescription
wrfnam Our standard setup of WRF but initialized with NAM instead of GFS
wrfnamkf Like the wrfnam except using Kain Fritsch cumulus instead of the SAS scheme
wrfnam5 WRF model initialized with NAM and using similar physics options to our old MM5 configuration: KF cumulus, simple ice, Dudhia radiation, no FDDA
wrfnam5z48diff0 same as wrfnam5 except with 48 vertical levels and no diffusion
wrfrapgfs First attempt at using GFS + RAP130B grids, compare domains for initialization
wrfrapgfs2 Second attempt at using GFS + RAP130B grids + OTIS + NSIDC grids, <>compare WRF and RAP domains for initialization

Description of WRF namelist options.
