Abstract

A selection of near surface weather model parameters of the UWC-West HARMONIE-AROME Cy43 model, for the Caribbean domain. For this weather forecast model, KNMI works closely with Iceland, Denmark and Ireland on local short-term weather forecasts under the name "United Weather Centres-West" (UWC-West). An international project team is working on a joint Numerical Weather Prediction model (NWP), procurement and management of the HPC (supercomputer) and infrastructure. Every hour, 9 files are available, each containing the full forecast depth for 1 parameter. The parameters are: wind gusts at 10m, wind speed at 10m, wind as a vector at 10m (both speed and direction), air temperature at 2m, air pressure at MSL (mean sea level), relative humidity, 3 precipitation parameters. The forecast time resolution is 1 hour, with a forecast horizon of 60 hours.
