Abstract
HRM: High-Resolution Model HRM is a hydrostatic mesoscale NWP model. It has been developed at The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and currently used in more than 30 universities and national weather services. It solves for surface pressure, temperature, water vapor, cloud water, cloud ice, and horizontal wind components (u, v) explicitly, in addition with several surface/soil parameters. It uses regular or rotates latitude/longitude grid using Arakawa C-grid and Hybrid vertical coordinate based on Simmons and Burridge (Simmons and Burridge, 1981). Different sub-grid scale processes are parameterized including radiation, convection, and soil processes. COSMO: Consortium for Small-scale Modeling COSMO was formed in October 1998. It is a non-hydrostatic limited-area atmospheric model, to be used both for operational and for research applications by the members of the consortium. The consortium members include Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Poland, and Romania.
