| Figure 1 all in one updated 2/14/2024 | Map of Hawaii with fires and zoom in on Maui and NW corner of big island. rev3 now includes a white dot for Lanai airport location. | Figure 1 rev2 Old Figure 1a and powerpoint for figures 1 and 2 |
| Figure 2a rev3 updated 2/14/2024 | Terrain map with mentioned geographic areas and sounding locations. rev3 now includes Maalaea and Wailea which are mentioned in the text. | Figure 2a rev2 loop of small versions loop of big versions loop terrain figures |
| Figure 8 visible satellite images: 1500x980 per image updated 2/6/2024 with more prominent map |
two visible satellite images from 1900 UTC on 7 Aug and 8 Aug | other versions, also updated 2/6/2024:
500x327 per image, 2000x1307 per image, 3000x1961 per image, 4000x2615 per image, 6000x3922 per image, 9000x5833 per image This used to be figure 7. |
| figure 9 Lihue and Hilo soundings to 340 hPa updated 2/14/2024 | soundings from Lihue and Hilo with filtered wind barbs | previous version to 380 hPa version with all wind barbs |
| figure 12 444m plots over West Maui updated 2/6/2024 |
5-panel wind gust plots over Maui from 2023080800 444m WRF run, now with a white star indicating Lahaina | NOTE: the caption in the submitted version of this paper
incorrectly labelled the vectors as 10-m winds, but these are the
actual winds at the level of the maximum wind within 250m of the
surface, i.e., they are the barbs that correspond to the max
wind. This used to be figure 11. |
| figure 13 zoomed in 444m plots over West Maui updated 2/14/2024 | 3 panels of WRF gusts with cross section location, SLP and 10m winds, and RH, more stations now | previous version without all the stations |
| figure 14 vertical cross sections updated 2/6/2024 | Vertical cross sections of wind speed, potential temperature, and circulation vectors | |
| figure 15 time-height sections updated 2/6/2024 | time-height sections at Upstream 444m domain, YSU case | |
| figure 16 both panels figure 16 left panel, Lanai City figure 16 right panel, Kahului updated 2/15/2024 | 444m domain, YSU case compared to observations | |
| new figure 18 base plot updated 2/14/2024 |
4/3-km domain cross section extending across Maui to Lanai | red line for height of center of radar beam has been calculated using wrf-python to extend from 989.6m/908 mb at the left over Lanai to 1154m/889 mb over Lahaina based on the actual heights and pressures in the model run and the calculated center of the radar beam heights at the given lat/lon points |
figure 19 full image updated 2/8/2024
figure 18 right side without star figure 18 colorbar updated 2/7/2024 | Full figure has MODIS image on left, WRF FHR=21 1.3-km sustained 10m winds on the right, and a colorbar. Valid 2100 UTC 8 Aug | I do not have a copy of the MODIS image to make the full figure. These are using the same color scale for winds as all other plots. |
| figure 20 HRRR forecast Gust Potential updated 2/6/2024 | Lahaina now has star | NOTE: for this figure, the colors are for Gust Potential, and the barbs are as well. I used the HRRR 10m Winds to get the direction and have plotted the gust potential speed with that direction. This used to be figure 18. |
| figure 22 4/3-km WRF Gusts updated 2/7/2024 | 4/3-km resolution WRF forecasts valid 17 UTC 8 Aug from 137-hr, 89-hr, 41-hr, and 17-hr forecasts. Lahaina has a star. Wind barbs and colors are for the level of max wind within 250m of surface. | NOTE: These are the
actual winds at the level of the maximum wind within 250m of the
surface, i.e., they are the barbs that correspond to the max
wind. This used to be figure 20. hee is the old version |
| figure 25 12-km 850-hPa winds near Hawaii for hurricane and no hurricane runs updated 2/7/2024 |
12-km 850-hPa winds near Hawaii for hurricane and no hurricane runs. Now with bold red map to better locate Hawaii. |
original version Used to be figure 23. |
| figure 26 4/3-km wind gusts near Hawaii for hurricane and no hurricane runs updated 2/7/2024 |
WRF forecasts from 2023080300 runs at 4/3-km showing gusts (max wind within 250m) now with star at Lahaina and frame letters | original without letters
same for the full 4/3-km domain Used to be figure 24. |

Phyics and Other Options:
| Physics | Comments |
|---|---|
| WRF Version | 4.1.3 |
| Nudging | outer 12-km domain T and Q nudging (see namelist.input below for full settings which are identical to what we use in our real-time runs on the outermost domain) |
| Radiation RRTMG shortwave and longwave radiation schemes |
30-minute update interval. |
| Thompson Microphysics | Includes graupel. |
| Grell-Freitas ensemble scheme for Cumulus Convection | initial run included it on 4/3-km domain by mistake, but for the rerun at 6-minute output intervals, this was turned off for that domain as well as the 444m domain. |
| YSU PBL | Yonsei University scheme (new MRF). Non-local-K scheme with explicit entrainment layer and parabolic K profile in unstable mixed layer. NOTE: the module_bl_ysu.F from version 3.0 of the WRF was backported into the version 2.2.1 WRF that was run up to and including the 2009010900 case. |
| Noah-MP Land Surface Model | As noted
in the documentaion: |
| Surface Layer | Revised MM5 Monin-Obukhov scheme (Jimenez) |
| SST | Static field from OTIS 1/4-degree resolution from 2023080712 |
