From deliverables doc:

Run/rerun case studies, starting with the Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) use case whose team plans to:

• (1) identify historically important weather event(s) in the Northeast U.S. (e.g., winter storm that caused major economic losses, transportation disruption, loss of life);
• (2) use WRF to simulate this event at 1–2 km resolution using ERA5 as initial and lateral boundary conditions (ICs/LBCs);
• (3) assess the fidelity of the simulation and adjust the WRF configuration if necessary;
• (4) once fidelity is demonstrated, perturb the simulation/event so that the ICs/LBCs represent future climate change (pseudo-global warming approach) and/or future projections of LULC and society;
• (5) compare simulations.
