Arizona Regional WRF Model Forecasts

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

New -- Tony Lorenzo has implemented a new method to view WRF model output called the Arizona gridded Data Visualization (ADVI) tool.

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
		Noah Land-Surface
