Abstract
Increasing computational resources and the demands of impact
modelers, stake holders, and society envision seasonal and climate simulations
with the convection-permitting resolution. So far such a resolution is only
achieved with a limited-area model whose results are impacted by zonal and
meridional boundaries. Here, we present the setup of a latitude-belt domain
that reduces disturbances originating from the western and eastern boundaries
and therefore allows for studying the impact of model resolution and physical
parameterization. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled to
the NOAH land–surface model was operated during July and August 2013 at two
different horizontal resolutions, namely 0.03 (HIRES) and
0.12° (LOWRES). Both simulations were forced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational
analysis data at the northern and southern domain boundaries, and the
high-resolution Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis
(OSTIA) data at the sea surface.
The simulations are compared to the operational ECMWF analysis for the representation of large-scale features. To analyze the simulated precipitation, the operational ECMWF forecast, the CPC MORPHing (CMORPH), and the ENSEMBLES gridded observation precipitation data set (E-OBS) were used as references.
Analyzing pressure, geopotential height, wind, and temperature fields as well as precipitation revealed (1) a benefit from the higher resolution concerning the reduction of monthly biases, root mean square error, and an improved Pearson skill score, and (2) deficiencies in the physical parameterizations leading to notable biases in distinct regions like the polar Atlantic for the LOWRES simulation, the North Pacific, and Inner Mongolia for both resolutions.
In summary, the application of a latitude belt on a convection-permitting resolution shows promising results that are beneficial for future seasonal forecasting.
