How to simulate the typhoon precipitation using WRF model ?

Hi,
I want to simulate the precipitation caused by typhoon. Is it the same steps with simulating convective precipitation ?

Steps: set the namelist.wps, run the geogrid.exe, link the Vtable.ERA-interim and use link_grib.csh to link the ERA5 data, run the ungrib.exe, run the metgrib.exe, cd the $WRFDIR and link the met_em.d0* in $WPSDIR, run the real.exe, finally run the wrf.exe.

The mechanism between typoon precipitation and convective precipitaion are different, how to reflect the difference when we simulate using WRF?

Thanks for your kind help!
 
Can you clarify what mechanism differences between typoon precipitation and convective precipitaion you want to detect by WRF simulation?

Hi,
I want to simulate the typoon precipitation, but I don't know how to simulate it in WRF.
The exactly same procedures like the convection precipitation, just set up different parameterization schemes?

Thanks so much!
 
You can follow the normal steps for typhoon simulation over single- or nested domains.
WRF has the capability of moving nest, by which you can specify a child domain and this child domain can 'move' following the typhoon track.
Personally I think this is a better option for typhoon simulation. Please see details at:
