Abstract

Two meteorological models, Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), were tested for Southern Italy extreme events related to coastal erosion phenomena. Simulations are compared with observational data for some meteorological surface parameters: temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure. In addition, WRF model performance were tested also at different vertical levels, by a comparison with rawinsonde data.
