Observed and simulated characteristics of storm 1b. Storm total precipitation (mm) from the (a) gridMET observations and (b) ensemble mean of the historical simulations on the 3 km resolution domain. Precipitable water (mm; shaded) and wind speed at 10-m (m/s; contour) from the (c) NARR and (d) ensemble mean of the historical simulations on the 27 km resolution domain. Wind speed contour interval is 5 m/s starting at 10 m/s. Sea-level pressure (mb; shaded) and 10-m wind (m/s; vectors) from the (c) NARR and (d) ensemble mean of the historical simulations on the 27 km resolution domain. Storm total precipitation is calculated over 00z 1 December - 00z December 7, 2014. Precipitable water, sea-level pressure, and 10-m wind are shown at the peak of the event, 00z December 3, 2014.
