Arizona Regional WRF Model Forecasts

Support for the Arizona Regional Modeling Program is provided by TEP, APS, ADEQ, and Pinal County AQ.

Model Discussion

During the monsoon season and for significant weather events, a model discussion may be available. This product will no longer be publicly available except for organizations that have provided current or previous support and to the general public. Contact Mike Leuthold if interested, leuthold@atmo.arizona.edu.

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a next-generation mesocale numerical weather prediction system designed to serve both operational forecasting and atmospheric research needs. Model output is generated using the Department's 448 High Performance Computer:

WRF Software version 3.5.1              38 vertical σ levels
Outer Domain: 5.4 km                    Inner Domain: 1.8 km
RRTMG Radiation
