Institute for hydrometeorology and seismology (IHMS) and NCC Montenegro started testing weather prediction using WRF model with NMM core. It is installed on the HPC cluster and initial simulations and benchmarks were performed.
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a next-generation mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications. It features two dynamical cores, a data assimilation system, and a software architecture supporting parallel computation and system extensibility. The model serves a wide range of meteorological applications across scales from tens of meters to thousands of kilometres.
WRF model is used for weather prediction on IHMS cluster on daily basis and on smaller cluster with worse performances. Angel Marcev, researcher from IHMS, installed WRF model with NMM core on Yotta HPC cluster, adjusted for Montenegrin purposes and HPC infrastructure and run parallel simulations. Newest installation on the HPC cluster, supported by NCC Montenegro, will enable IHMS to improve precision and prediction and compare WRF with other models used for Montenegrin weather prediction.
