• Resumen

  • An experiment with WRF atmospheric modeling system (ARW-v2.2) was undergone aiming to test the effect of several physics parameterizations in surface wind, temperature and water vapor mixing ratio simulations. Based on point to point validation, our work has been focused on 7 weather stations over Portugal with observations taken from 4 days of unstable atmospheric conditions for each month of 2006. The sensitivity study comprised 24 combinations of the schemes for microphysics, short-wave radiation, planetary boundary layer, surface layer and cumulus parameterization. The corresponding mean and root mean square errors were evaluated for each quarter as functions of the forecasting time up to 48 h. Results are demonstrative of a strong influence of daylight and season both in error magnitudes and their differences, and of the interaction between different processes. Nevertheless, we found that the surface layer scheme along with planetary boundary layer scheme plays a major role in the skill of the surface wind speed forecasts during the cold seasons at all times of the day.
