Abstract EN
Model performance and sensitivity to model physics options are studied with the Weather Research and Forecasting model (version 3.1.1) over Delhi region in India for surface and upper air meteorological parameters in summer and winter seasons.
A case study with the model has been performed with different configurations, and the best physics options suited for this region have been, determined.
Comparison between estimated and observed data was carried out through standard statistical measures.
Generally, the combination of Pleim-Xiu land surface model, Pleim surface layer scheme, and Asymmetric Convective Model has been found to produce better estimates of temperature and relative humidity for Delhi region.
Wind speed and direction estimations were observed best for MM5 similarity surface layer along with Yonsei University boundary layer scheme.
Nested domains with higher resolutions were not helpful in improving the simulation results as per the current availability of the data.
Overall, the present case study shows that the model has performed reasonably well over the subtropical region of Delhi.
