According to recent research from the United States, "The Weather Research and Forecasting Advanced Research Model (WRF-ARW) was used to perform idealized tropical cyclone (TC) simulations, with domains of 36-, 12-, and 4-km horizontal grid spacing. Tests were conducted to determine the sensitivity of TC intensity to the available surface layer (SL) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations, including the Yonsei University (YSU) and Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) schemes, and to horizontal grid spacing."
"Simulations were run until a quasi-steady TC intensity was attained. Differences in minimum central pressure (P-min) of up to 35 hPa and maximum 10-m ...
