DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-22-0213.1
Abstract: The ability of high-resolution mesoscale models to simulate near-surface and sub-surface meteorological processes is critical for representing land-atmosphere feedback processes. The High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model is a 3-km numerical weather prediction model that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-23-0221.1
Abstract: The High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model provides hourly-updating forecasts of convective-scale phenomena, which can be used to infer the potential for convective hazards (e.g., tornadoes, hail, and wind gusts), across the United States. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-24-0238.1
Abstract: Short term (0–6-hr) forecasts of thunderstorms from the experimental Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) are compared to forecasts from the operational High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) for 95 cases between 2020 and 2023. Object-based and neighborhood verification of… read more here.
