Comparison of the Accuracy of Observation Data with the Output Results of the Assimilated and Non-Assimilated Wrf-Arw Models (Case Study: January 7 2015, BIM Meteorological Station)
Main Article Content
Abstract
WRF is one of the mesoscale numerical weather prediction models used widely in weather prediction and atmospheric research needs. This model has a dynamic core which doubled privilege, variations of 3- dimensional (3DVAR) and architecture of software that allowing computations in parallel and extensible system. WRF can be combined with observation data called assimilation technique models. In this study, uses FNL data which processed in WRF-ARW model with assimilated or non-assimilation. The purpose is to see how far the level of WRF output accuracy against observational data in the Meteorological Station Class II Padang. This research’s case study take on January 7, 2015 at 00.00 UTC until January 8, 2015 at 00.00 UTC. Surface temperature, RH, wind speed, temperature and vertical relative humidity are the parameters that will be analyzed. The result of WRF-ARW output after having assimilated is closer to the observations data than the result which is not assimilated. For dew point, pressure and rain parameter, the output of the model WRF-ARW after having assimilated are closer to observations data than the output of the model WRF-ARW before assimilated. For the surface wind direction parameter (assimilation or non-assimilation) is not good enough to represent it.
