The HWRF PS:85.98.98.88.88.2.84 (HD12) is the third HWRF Reference Configuration published by the DTC. It corresponds to the HWRF model as operational for the 2012 season.

This configuration uses the same domain setup as the 2012 operational HWRF run by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction. A 80x80 deg outer domain with 27-km grid spacing, a 11x10 deg moving nest with 9-km grid spacing, and a 6x5.5 deg moving nest with 3-km grid spacing were employed to run 5-day forecasts for 750 cases of 35 storms in the North Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific basins for the 2012 season.
