understanding why the results obtained from the WRF time series output behaves strangely
as compared to what is obtained from the local weather forecast of temperature vs.
time. Both outputs have about same average daily temperature of 300K. However,
the WRF output seems to behave strangely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="3"><span style="line-height: 115%;">For WRF the peak
temperature occurs within the hours of 6am – 9am. This does not follow the
diurnal temperature profile of the study area. However, the local weather forecast
