Abstract: A Cartesian, small- to mesoscale nonhydrostatic model is extended to a rotating mountainous sphere, thereby dispensing with the traditional geophysical simplifications of hydrostaticity, gentle terrain slopes, and weak ...

Abstract: hree-dimensional simulations of the daytime thermally induced valley wind system for an idealized valley?plain configuration, obtained from nine nonhydrostatic mesoscale models, are compared with special emphasis on the ...

Abstract: AbstractAfter extensive efforts over the course of a decade, convective-scale weather forecasts with horizontal grid spacings of 1?5 km are now operational at national weather services around the world, accompanied by ...
