We simulate the forecast of some atmospheric variables for the region of La Libertad-Peru, using the Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System BRAMS, taking into account that the topography of the region is varied, since its height above sea level varies from 3 msm to 4800 msnm, observes certain inestabilities in the simulation mainly when using a high resolution mesh, as in the case of 5km, due to this situation we try to improve stability by introducing a monotonic convective scheme of Walce, which has already been implemented in some variables such as the tracer scalars, by Freitas 2012(J. Adv. Model. Earth Syst., Vol. 3, M01001, 26 pp.) in some Brazilian tropical zones, obtaining better patterns and without generating spurious oscillations. Taking into account that they have not been tested in the case when the topography is varied as in the Peruvian case or in non-linear terms, in this case we use the method in the simulations of variables such as precipitation and aerosols, for this we use data from January and February 2021, as well as verifying that the scheme is high order and stable scheme.
