Abstract
The climate and hydrological cycle are influenced by the relationships between land-surface characteristics and the atmosphere. According to this research, a hydrological–atmospheric coupled model adds value to river basin climate modeling by determining if it is useful. The Tono basin in Ghana's Ghana was the focus of the research, which looked at the climate of West Africa as a whole. Simulations of WRF and WRF-Hydro (WRF/WRF-Hydro) were conducted separately and together. Both runs use the same physical parameterizations. There were two methods used to evaluate the model's ability to predict precipitation and temperature in the basin: statistical analysis and spatial bias analysis. The coupled model outperformed the uncoupled model in terms of precipitation and temperature prediction. Coupling models can be used to simulate sub-grid hydrological basin features, like the Tono irrigation dam, as a result of this study.
