This talk will outline
the model developments in WRF since the last meeting. These include the 3.3.1
and 3.4 releases of the WRF model. New options and other updates will be
described. The new options include the NoahMP and SSiB land-surface models, the
Fu-Liou-Gu (UCLA) radiation, the QNSE-EDMF PBL, the NSSL (Mansell)
microphysics, and WENO advection option, plus other modifications including an
option for surface winds in complex terrain for the YSU scheme, a revised version
of the M-O surface-layer scheme, and a new sea-ice albedo option.
