A specialized version of the program, the Hurricane Weather Research And Forecasting (HWRF) model became operational in 2007.http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2007/s2885.htm The WRF is a Mesoscale model that uses a grid spacing between 4 and 10 kilometers, with vertical resolution between 25 and 37 divisions. There are two distinct varieties of this model; the "Advanced Research WRF" or ARW (a Recursive Acronym ) is used for research purposes and the "Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model" or NMM is used for operational purposes. Versions of the NMM are run at various National Weather Service offices, colleges, and universities in the United States over relatively small regions. REFERENCE |
