High-resolution numerical weather prediction (HRNWP) covers forecasting of meteorological events over a limited area with a 1-5 km horizontal resolution, for 1 or 2 days ahead. Its high spatial resolutions allows: (i) to get more realistic descriptions of the surface and of atmospheric phenomena such as clouds and precipitation or boundary layer processes; and (ii) to use denser and more frequent observations than global NWP over the area of interest. http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/OSY/SOG/SoG-HighRes-NWP.pdf
