Mesoscale Parallel Experiment Log
- Experiment
-
North American WRF-NMM run with
- cycled data assimilation using Grid-point
Statistical Interpolation (GSI) analysis
- version 2.1 of WRF-NMM (9/20/2005 repository version)
currently running in NAM, go to the
old NAM parallel change log
and the
current NAMX change log
for details on differences between this run and the 9/20/2005 respository version of the WRF-NMM.
- Fully cycled land-states using G. Gayno's surface update codes; SST, snow, sea ice updated at the
start of each 00z assimiltion cycle
- NMM terrain and roughness length from G. Gayno utilities.
- Model top pressure moved from 50 mb to 2 mb, vertical layer distribution modified to maintain the same thickness
of the lowest layer as is in NAM.
- GSI analysis uses GFS-based background error covariances
Integration domain covers about 1/2 of the ops NAM 12 km domain.
