Comparison of WRF PBL models in low-wind speed conditions against measured data

Abstract

In a previous work (Ferrero et al. 2016) we have tested the WRF PBL models during two different months (January and July) of the experimental campaign. Here, we are particularly interested in low-wind conditions (wind speed less then 1.5 ms−1), which are frequent in the Po Valley were the mast is located. Thus, we selected these cases and compared the model results with measurements. Some results of the comparison are presented here in term of 2D histograms and marginal rug plots between measured and simulated quantities for the month of July 2007.
