          Abstract

          The aim of this paper is to evaluate the quality of high-resolution weather forecasts from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction model. The lateral and boundary conditions were obtained from the numerical output of the Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) model at 7 km horizontal resolution. The WRF model was run for January and July 2013 at two horizontal resolutions (3 and 1 km). The numerical forecasts of the WRF model were evaluated using different statistical scores for 2 m temperature and 10 m wind speed. Results showed a tendency of the WRF model to overestimate the values of the analyzed parameters in comparison to observations.

          En este trabajo se evalúa la calidad de las predicciones meteorológicas del modelo numérico de alta resolución Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). Las condiciones iniciales y de frontera fueron obtenidas del modelo numérico de predicción meteorológica regional Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) con resolución horizontal de 7 km. El modelo WRF fue integrado durante enero y julio de 2013 en dos resoluciones horizontales (3 y 1 km). Las predicciones numéricas del modelo WRF se evaluaron utilizando diferentes medidas estadísticas calculadas para la temperatura a 2 m y para la velocidad del viento a 10 m. Los resultados han mostrado una tendencia del modelo WRF a sobreestimar los valores de los parámetros meteorológicos analizados en comparación con las observaciones.
