Evaluation Of Weather Research Forcasting (wrf) Microphysics In Capturing Short Rain Over Ethiopia

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model has been used to simulate cloudsrnand their e ects on precipitation over Ethiopia. The results have been compared with thernGlobal Precipitation Climatology Center (GPCC) observations. This study identi es thernprecipitation capturing skill of the ten microphysics in weather research and forecastingrn(WRF) model during three years namely; El Ni~no, La Ni~na, and Normal years. The studyrndomain covers Ethiopia with 10 km by 10 km horizontal grid resolution. The statisticalrntools used are correlation coe cient (R), bias, mean absolute error (MAE), and root meanrnsquare error (RMSE).rnThe analysis has shown that precipitation capturing skill of most microphysics are almostrnthe same for all years. The result has pointed out that Morrison 2-moment, Thompson,rnand WSM6 are the best three microphysics for El Ni~no year; Thompson, Goddard,rnand Morrison 2-moment are the rst 3 microphysics for La Ni~na year; and Thompson,rnGoddard, and Morrison 2-moment become the best 3 microphysics for Normal year
