Performance assessment of WRF model in simulating the very severe cyclonic storm “TITLI” in the Bay of Bengal: A case study

The present study has been conducted to assess the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting – Advanced Research (WRF-ARW, hereinafter named as WRF) model in simulating the very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS) “Titli” which formed over the Bay of Bengal during 08–13 October, 2018. The simulated meteorological variables viz. 10-m wind vectors, surface latent heat flux, rainfall, track and intensity based on minimum sea level pressure...
