Descripción
The atmospheric Precipitable Water Vapour content (PWV) is crucial for
astronomical observations in the infrared. In this work, we have
validated the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale numerical
model as an operational tool for PWV at Roque de los Muchachos
astronomical Observatory (ORM). We used radiosonde data obtained
directly at the Observatory and at the sea level. An excellent agreement
between PWV model forecasts and observations was found at both
verification points with a correlation above 0.9.
