Project Wind - Experiments with the UK Meteorological Office Mesoscale Model
Abstract
A preliminary report describing the first three numerical experiments carried out on the UK Meteorological Office (UKMO) mesoscale model using project WIND (Phase 1) data was prepared in Sept 1987. This present report incorporates the results described in that report and goes on to describe subsequent work carried to March 1989. This included: a) Further analysis of the results of experiments 1, 2, and 3; b) experiment 4, incorporating a change of surface albedo; c) experiments with a single-column version of the MO model; and d) the development of a computer program to carry out three-dimensional objective analyses of project WIND data. Conclusions drawn from these experiments stress the implications of the results for future development of the hierarchy of models, particularly SIGMET, at the Atmospheric sciences lab (ASL).Keywords: Atmosphere models; Computerized simulation; Wind/Air flow.
