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 support. It will also be available to the general public via a email. 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
