TL;DR: The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model as mentioned in this paper has become one of the world's most widely used numerical weather prediction models, and it has been widely used for both research and operational purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential Vorticity Diagnostics of Cyclogenesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a diagnostic system based on the relative smallness of the irrotational part of the horizontal wind was developed to calculate the balanced flow given the three-dimensional distribution of Ertel's potential vorticity (PV) framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of “Vortical” Hot Towers in the Formation of Tropical Cyclone Diana (1984)
TL;DR: In this article, a 3-km horizontal grid spacing near-cloud-resolving numerical simulation of the formation of Hurricane Diana (1984) is used to examine the contribution of deep convective processes to tropical cyclone formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiences with 0–36-h Explicit Convective Forecasts with the WRF-ARW Model
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of the authors' experiences with 36-h real-time explicit (4 km) convective forecasts with the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-ARW) during the 2003-05 spring and summer seasons is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper used the Advanced Hurricane WRF (AHW) model to forecast five landfalling Atlantic hurricanes during 2005 using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model at grid spacings of 12 and 4 km revealed performance generally competitive with, and occasionally superior to, other operational forecasts for storm position and intensity.
