An Evaluation of the Performance of the CWB NFS Model for Warm-Season Rainfall Distribution and Propagation over the East Asian Continent

This study evaluates the performance of the regional operational model at Central Weather Bureau (CWB), the Non-hydrostatic Forecast System (NFS), in capturing the general distribution and eastward propagation of warm-season rainfall within the diurnal cycle in Hovmoler (longitude-time) space over t...
