You research interest area has various kinds of local and remote forcings with different intensity and direction. Therefore, I recommend that you conduct comprehensive sensitivity tests of model parameterization schemes to find an optimal combination of them over your area. MSLP and track accuracy seem to key variables in your experiment, and you must have the observed value for them. The test is a very time-consuming work but really worth much. You may refer to my similar work done several years ago:

In my previous study below, I used WSM6 for MPS, KF for CP, YSU for PBL, and RRTM for radiation. But it could be different in different cases.

During the mean time you plan a sensitivity test with microphysics, you may also want to think about WRF's tropical storm bogussing (serch "bogus" at http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/docs/user_guide_V3/users_guide_chap5.htm#_Description_of_Namelist) to improve the initial field, which may or may not make the model less sensitive to MPS selection.

Dear Dr Muhammed Eltahan

Thanks for your kind reply.

The main objective of my study is to estimate the precipitation by WRF to use to improve my hydrologic model for better understanding of Flash flood generation process in arid and semi-arid regions. My study includes two case studies: the first one is in Eastern Desert of Egypt and WRF result is very satisfactory compared to TRMM and available rain gauge station records but the second case study is in the Sultanate of Oman, the tropical cyclones caused severe flood events. Therefore, I am trying to simulate it.

Thank you for recommending papers to me. I have tried several physics schemes. However, the model could not simulate the tropical cyclone. Currently, I am working on using WRF-DA and hope to get reliable results.

Best Regards.

Dear Professor George Zittis ,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I have tried the recommended options for Tropical cyclone. However, the model could not estimate the cyclone track, intensity and wind speed.

Dear Professor Seung-Jae Lee ,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I agree with you.

I would like to ask you if you can send your previous work as I could not download it.

Best Regards.

Dear Professor Jiwoo Lee ,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I will try to use the WRF's tropical storm bogussing and WRF-DA to check if I can get better results.

Best Regards.

Hi Omar,

I am also trying to track a tropical cyclone using WRF. Initially I tried with basic WRF installation with em_real option. But didn't find any script to track down the cyclone path. So, I reconfigured WRF with vortex follwoing with em_tropical_cyclone option. But problem is, still my model isn't generating any ATCF data & to be true I am confused whether I am on the right way to generate ATCF data. From your namelist I can see, you used em_real to run the model. Will you please let me know how did you track the path? Did you used any ATCF data & if yes, how you generated those? Or is there any other way to do so?

In addition to my last question, how did you generate the ensemble of tracks? Did you used any specific script?

It will be a great help if you can provide me some insight on this issues.

Thanks,
