Bias in Q2

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well.
I am seeking your insights on an issue with the model’s Q2. It seems that Q2 (for single point comparison) is underestimating the input reanalysis data from ERA5. I have attached a figure for reference, which excludes the first day of the simulation to account for spin-up time.

For this simulation, I used a single domain with a 9 km horizontal resolution, initializing and providing boundary conditions with ERA5 reanalysis data at a 0.25-degree resolution.

Could anyone provide suggestions or potential reasons for this discrepancy? Your expertise and input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Best regards,
Chetan

Chetan,
have you looked at the domian average situation? A single point may not be represenatative.
Also, it seems that OBS of LH is out of phase with WRF simulation. I am not sure yet what could be the possible reason.
Model performance can be affected by various factors, please refer to the literature for more information.
