Evaluation of Hurricane Harvey (2017) Rainfall in Deterministic and Probabilistic HWRF Forecasts [PDF]
Rainfall forecast performance was evaluated for the first time for the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model. This study focused on HWRF performance in predicting rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. In particular, two configurations

Investigating the Impact of High-Resolution Land–Sea Masks on Hurricane Forecasts in HWRF [PDF]
Realistic wind information is critical for accurate forecasts of landfalling hurricanes. In order to provide more realistic near-surface wind forecasts of hurricanes over coastal regions, high-resolution land–sea masks are considered.

Increasing vertical resolution in US models to improve track forecasts of Hurricane Joaquin with HWRF as an example [PDF]
Significance For forecasts of Hurricane Joaquin in 2015, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting model consistently and correctly predicted a track away from the US mainland, while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System (GFS) and ...

Tropical Cyclone Winds from WindSat, AMSR2, and SMAP: Comparison with the HWRF Model [PDF]
A new data set of tropical cyclone winds (‘TC-winds’) through rain as observed by the WindSat and AMSR2 microwave radiometers has been developed by making use of a linear combination of C- and X-band frequency channels.
