Abstract

Hydrometeorological variables are sensitively regulated by atmospheric dynamics and variability. Weather research and forecasting (WRF) model is the cutting-edge tool for studying and investigating the dynamics of physical atmospheric conditions, but the configuration scheme of WRF parameters remains a research challenge for topical peatland situated in the maritime continent. Here, we evaluated WRF parametrization based on three kalibration configuration schemes, which influence rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture dynamics. We tested the WRF evaluation for Sebangau-Kahayan peatland for a wet-dry season in August 2020. The best configuration was determined based on three statistical metrics namely mean absolute error, percent bias, and coefficient of correlation. Our results showed that WRF forecasts were greatly depend on a bias correction to improve the model performance, in which it was consistently found in all configurations. Rainfall was barely predicted in station level with a low performance in term of weekly spatial distribution. Other findings revealed that all configurations showed a good performance for temperature and soil moisture forecasts. Further, our findings emphasize the important physical parameter of WRF that control rainfall formation and dynamics. Last, we highlight an urgent need of more ground stations in term of spatial distribution to validate the weather forecast.
