Abstract
A hierarchy of microphysical parameterizations schemes to represent the major physical process characteristics of precipitation development in wintertime clouds is presented. The weather research and forecast model (WRF) was set up to run with 4 interactive grids with horizontal resolutions of 27, 9, 3, and 1 km. The model initial and time dependent boundary conditions were derived from the NCEP ETA model using the WRF standard initialization program. The model was first started only with the coarsest grid and the finer scale grids were subsequently included as the 24 hour run progressed.
