Overview

The HRRR suite contains the evolving parameterizations used in the NOAA operational High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model, which runs at 3-km resolution. This suite is most applicable for runs at 3-km resolution since it does not parameterize deep convection. It is one of the primary suite candidates for RRFS v1 operational implementation.

For additional information about the HRRR model, visit: https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/.

The HRRR suite uses the parameterizations in the following order:
