[Wrf-users] WRF and latent heat fluxes

[Ravan Ahmadov]

Dear WRF users,

My simulations with WRF by using ECMWF soil moisture for initialization 
show that WRF strongly (2-4 times) overestimates Latent Heat fluxes over 
some vegetation areas in Europe. At the same time LH fluxes from ECMWF 
haven't such bias compared to the observation data. I used thermal 
diffusion scheme, NOAH LSM and in both cases there's a strong 
overestimation of LH. Who did such comparision for LH fluxes? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
