Comparison of Eta and AVN initialized MM5 runs |
---|
Initialization at 18Z on 28 August (TGC, near-surface winds for Domain 2 shown) |
---|
12 h forecast in Domain 3 (TGC, near-surface winds) |
---|
Note unrealistically warm surface temperatures just offshore in Eta initialized simulation.
18 h forecast in Domain 3 (TGC, near-surface winds) |
---|
The unrealistically warm near-shore SSTs in the Eta run seems to slow cooling of the LA basin.
18 h forecast in Domain 3 (10 m RH, 750 m winds) |
---|
Yet the Eta run is more moist everywhere, and continues to develop stronger winds as time progresses.
30 h forecast in Domain 3 (both plot types shown) |
---|
Initial 10 m RH and 750 m winds for Domain 1 |
---|
The Eta run had more low-level moisture to start with.
