[Wrf-users] Comparing U,V 10 meters to observations

[Feng Liu]

Hi, Juan,

It depends what you are using wind field for as well as your grid
resolution. For regional air quality analysis, we normally evaluate
simulated wind fields with hourly-mean observations. So can you do it by
using "history_interval =60" in your namelist.input. Hope this is
helpful.

Hi everyone,

 

I am interested on validating the WRF 10m wind forecast with
observational data. I would like to know what is the corresponding
average scale for the WRF 10m winds, that is, do the correspond to
1-minute, 10-minute average winds or what kind of average, if any?

 

My WRF configuration outputs wind every 3 hours.

 

Thanks for your help, 

Juan Gonzalez
