The Mesoscale Predictability of Terrain Induced Flows
Abstract
To develop an understanding of the predictability of small-scale atmospheric circulations appearing in forecasts generated by state-of-the-art high-resolution mesoscale models. Using previously collected observations and archived simulations performed using the Navy s COAMPS model, as well as new simulations, we focus on assessing the predictability of winds, mountain waves and clear air turbulence (CAT) in the lee of the Sierra Nevada.
