The meteorological model RAMS at Crati Scrl

S. Federico, E. Avolio, C. Bellecci, and M. Colacino

Abstract. At Crati Scrl an operational version of RAMS 4.3 (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) was implemented in January 2001. This paper aims to give a first assessment of model performances for quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF). In essence, the effects of enhanced horizontal grid resolution over Calabria, using a 6km spacing domain nested in a 30km resolution parent grid, is studied.

To cope with this problem two integrations sets are discussed using two model resolutions. Integrations are performed daily for six months. ECMWF 12:00UTC forecast cycle is used for initial and dynamic boundary conditions.

Performances are evaluated by scores computed from model outputs and raingauge measurements coming from Calabrian regional network.
