摘要：Software modularity architecture facilitates software development and software reusability. Software reusability enhances the maintenance of software, facilitates building larger component out of sub-components. Numerical weather prediction uses complex mathematical models and run them on powerful computers to forecast weather conditions. Numerical weather prediction models have proliferated and can be classified into regional and global models. The Weather Research Forecast model is considered the next-generation mesoscale regional model and widely used. The Weather Research Forecasting model consists of several modules interacting with each other. This research aims to study the WRF�s software architecture, software modules, and the forecasting accuracy of WRF in respect to other well-known Numerical Prediction Models. The study outcomes show that WRF�s software architecture characterized with high degree of flexibility, loosely coupled modules which plays a very important role to obtain accurate forecasting results through the application of independent modules, and consequently it provides a high reliable and accurate forecasting results.
