LAPS WRF-ARW (LAPSWRF) Model Cycle Information
| WRF-ARW
(version 2.1.2) |
LAPSWRF
Domain |
- hourly runs
out to 2 hours
- 3-hourly runs
out to 18 hours
- Initial conditions
from coupled LAPS analysis described below (in
blue).
- WRF-ARW
runs initialize from a LAPS analysis on an identical domain. The
WRF-ARW forecasts each hour are used as the first guess for the
LAPS (hourly cycle). Specifications of the LAPS analysis are:
- LAPS
version 0-31-13
- First
guess provided by coupled hourly WRF-ARW forecasts.
- Datasets
used in analysis include METAR, Maritime, RAOB, MADIS Profiler
(NOAA & External), MADIS Aircraft (including TAMDAR), MADIS
Mesonet, GOES-12 Imager
