[Wrf-users] same run - different results?

[Elena Maria Pison San Pedro]

Hi,

 

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. 

 

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. 

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?

 

 

 

A Million Thanks in advance!

 

Elena
