The Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF) utilizes triply-nested meshes with varying horizontal resolutions (20 km, 4 km, and 0.8 km) to cover tropical and subtropical regions. The atmospheric driving fields, sourced from NASA's Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis and NOAA's sea surface temperature, include variables like temperature, wind, geopotential height, and water vapor. The Pseudo-Global-Warming method incorporates global warming signals from 12 CMIP5 models for future runs, spanning from January 1st, 2080 to December 31st, 2099, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios.
