Quantifying the effects of spatial resolution on the mesoscale modelling of the Dutch storm of 1953

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to investigate the horizontal spatial resolution sensitivity by simulating the 1953 Dutch storm, the grid sizes are 27, 9, 3, 1, 0.5 km from domain 1 to domain 5 respectively.
