Winter-time wind verification of HIRLAM in SodankyläPriit Tisler, UH/FMI Working meeting on Stable Boundary Layer Parameterizations2 November 2005 HIRLAM - NetFAM
Objectives • Wind speed, direction and veering in ABL • Impact of horizontal resolution of HIRLAM • Impact of model code improvements • Surface stress turning etc. (Newsletter No.47) • Traditional verification, HIRLAM vs. measurements (Sodankylä)
Details of used meteorological data • Period of interest 4 months, (nov.04 – feb.05) • Except experimental RCRA 2 months, (dec.04, jan.05) • HIRLAM 6 h forecasts, int. 6h • Sodankylä soundings, int.12h • Sodankylä AWS data, int. 6h
Summaryforecast for winter period 05/06 • Grid spacing – small effect
Summaryforecast for winter period 05/06 • Grid spacing – small effect • New RCR (RCRA), Finland (inland) • increased 10m (also lowest level) wind speed • reduced bias (positive) of 10m wind direction • increased wind turning in ABL
