“…Hence, the modeled vertical structure of the wind field up to the height where the wind speed has been actually measured by the radiosonde is different, which possibly explains the different upper air performance of WRF and MM5. The good upper air performance of MM5 is in agreement with the findings of Posada et al (2013), who compared MM5 modeled wind field and radiosonde data from Madrid, Spain, during winter precipitation events.…”

“…A similar disagreement is found between reported underestimation by 4-5% of MM5 surface wind speed for offshore platforms (Durante et al, 2012) and MM5 over-prediction of surface wind speeds over land and coastal regions (Zhang et al, 2011;Carvalho et al, 2006). Posada et al (2013) compared MM5 modeled wind field and radiosonde data for Madrid, Spain, and found good model performance (in terms of solely the wind speed) during winter precipitation events. Likewise, Madala et al (2014) found that WRF captured the characteristic variations of surface meteorological variables, such as the air temperature, relative humidity, wind field, vertical wind profile, equivalent potential temperature and surface fluxes.…”

“…According to earlier studies (Memmo et al 2005;Posada et al 2013), the PWV from the MM5 model was in good agreement with those measured by radiosondes, GPS, and ground-based microwave radiometers. Therefore, the MM5 model over the Bohai Sea, which has three nested grid domains using Lambert's conformal projection to obtain the highest resolution, was used to validate our ship-borne GPS AWV results.…”

“…The temporal and spatial variation of water vapor is quite important in numerical weather forecasting especially for several hours of small-scale disastrous-weather monitoring and forecasting (Hamill and Church, 2000;Hart and Forbes, 1999;Posada et al, 2012). Accurate and reliable weather forecasting requires high-accuracy water vapor distribution information in both horizontal and vertical directions.…”
