Exercise #3


Grid Resolution of User Entered Data

~11 grid points per degree latitude

~111 km per degree latitude

~10 km per grid point



Profiles of WRF27uw

PBL = 1222 m AGL + 320 m MSL = 1542 m MSL




Profiles of WRF27

PBL = 1584 m AGL + 280 m MSL = 1864 m MSL



1800 UTC Sounding at Dayton: PBL = 1600-1700 m MSL



Profiles of WRF27uw at 45°N 75°W at 1800 UTC

The true angle is 0.5/17.8 (57.3 deg/rad) = 1.6°

The grid angle is 4.9/17.1 (57.3 deg/rad) = 16.4°

A west wind would appear as a 255° vector along the 75°W meridian
