Results of the meteorological model WRF-ARW over Catalonia, using different parameterizations of convection and cloud microphysics

The meteorological model WRF-ARW (Weather Research and Forecasting - Advanced ResearchWRF) is a new generation model that has a worldwide growing community of users. In theframework of a project that studies the feasibility of implementing it operationally at the Mete-orological Service of Catalonia...
