Description:Tests with differing resolution in the 7 level and Nested Grid models were made on two winter cases. Significant improvements were obtained over current operational models. However, the main difference in these two cases was a model difference, and not a resolution difference. Horizontal resolution smaller than about 150 km did not improve the flow pattern forecasts significantly in either model, but did improve precipitation forecasts.
