Was everything else the same? Same number of processors? Same exact

Same environment variables?<br>

Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=

I was surprised to find that running on WRF 3.4 the same domain,
with the same initial and boundary conditions could get different
results.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=
"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=
"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
I’ve read about the fact that the internal variability of a model
can give different results, for the same period of simulation, when
the initial conditions change even just for a few
days/hours.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=
"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
However, running 2 times the same and finding differences till +/-
8m/s in U10 for example is scaring. Anyone can explain me how this
is possible?</span></p>
