Sensitivity of high-temperature weather to initial soil moisture: a case study using the WRF model

Using a succession of 24 h Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) simulations, we investigate the sensitivity to initial soil moisture of a short-range hightemperature weather event that occurred in late July 2003 in East China. The initial soil moisture (SMOIS) in the Noah land surface scheme is adjusted (relative to the control run, CTL) for four groups of simulations: DRY25 (−25 %), DR...

WRF-Fire Applied in Bulgaria

WRF-Fire consists of the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model) coupled with a fire spread model, based on the levelset method. We describe a preliminary application of WRF-Fire to a forest fire in Bulgaria, oportunities for research of forest fire models for Bulgaria, and plans for the development of an Environmental Decision Support Systems which includes computational modeling of fire ...
