Introduction• Peruvian ETA-model data is available for guidance at Peruvian

Hydro-meteorological service (SENAMHI). The application of rather low resolution (22 km grid) data is not straight forward in complex terrain in terms of topography, climatic zones and sharp land-sea gradient.

• The applicability of the data is evaluated and if some problems are encountered a solution will be searched. So far data has been partly verified and tests with Kalman filter have started. The test data includes maximum and minimum temperature.

• Another focus is the heavy precipitation in Machu Picchu area resulting flooding and danger to life and property.

Conclusions• The preliminary results indicate that ETA model has

problems with temperature forecasts in most regions; in tropical rain forest, at mountains and near coastline affected by cold sea current. The application of Kalman filter was used to minimize systematic errors from the ETA-model and rather encouraging results was received.

• For precipitation forecasts ETA model is not able to forecast higher precipitation amounts correctly

• A higher resolution (e.g. WRF) NWP model would be a way to inprove the forecast quality in complex terrain
