1. Basic model set-up

At the Federal Service for Hydrometeoroly and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet), the COSMO model is integrated at : ≈13.2 km, ≈7 km, ≈6.6 km, ≈2.2 km and ≈1.1 km grid spacing.

COSMO-Ru13 ENA: 1000x500x40, 13.2 km

COSMO-Ru7 ETR: 700x620x40, 7 km

COSMO-Ru2 CFO: 420x470x50, 2.2 km

COSMO-Ru2 SFO: 420x470x50, 2.2 km

COSMO-Ru2 VFO: 470x450x50, 2.2 km

COSMO-Ru1 Sochi: 190x190x50, 1.1 km
