Eta Model Horizontal resolution of 12 km WRF Model Family A Tale of Two Dynamical Cores Why WRF? An attempt to create a national mesoscale prediction system to be used by both operational and research communities. A new, state-of-the-art model that has good conservation characteristics (e.g., conservation of mass) and good numerics (so not too much numerical diffusion) A model that could parallelize well on many processors and easy to modify. Plug-compatible physics to foster improvements in model physics. Designed for grid spacings of 1-10 km Two WRF Cores ARW (Advanced Research WRF) (aka Mas
