Abstract

Heavy rain in Semarang 15 January 2013 causes flood. It is related to dynamic of weather’s parameter, especially with convection process, clouds and rainfall data. In this case, weather condition analysis uses Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model used to analyze. Some weather’s parameters show significant result. Their fluctuations prove there is a strong convection that produces convective cloud (Cumulonimbus). Nesting and 2 domains on WRF model show good output to represent weather’s condition commonly. The results of this study different between output cloud cover rate of observation result and output of model around 6-12 hours is because spinning-up of processing. Satellite Images of MTSAT (Multifunctional Transport Satellite) are used as a verification data to prove the result of WRF. White color of satellite image is Coldest Dark Grey (CDG) that indicates there is cloud’s top. This image consolidates that the output of WRF is good enough to analyze Semarang’s condition when the case happened.
