Fernando The MATERHORN: Unraveling the Intricacies of Mountain Weather 2015.0 24 .pdf application/pdf 14131 1603 64 novel flow physics, address current deficiencies of predictive models, and improve weather improving weather prediction in mountainous terrain. T he Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations atmospheric measurement systems (SAMS), 51 miniSAMS, and over 100 portable weather instrumentation data systems (PWIDS). The IOS-Playa featured unique instrumentation for finescale turbulence, employing a nearsurface f lux Richardson number (hot wire) probe, intensive observing period (IOP) provided information for data-assimilation studies. Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model–based advanced Four-Dimensional (4DWX) weather modeling system developed by NCAR (Liu et al. near-surface temperature and wind from WRF simulations in complex-terrain regions were also examined WRF forecasts of nocturnal surface temperature as Example of TODWL data obtained, 9 Oct 2012, during IOP 5, in the afternoon at 3000 m MSL representing (a) upper-level flow at 1750 m MSL, (b) near-surface flow, and (c) 300-m-resolution simulations of nearsurface flow for the same time (1700 MDT) using WRF. ./cache/work_smn4cq6uz5frnbxwot56y6wuim.pdf ./txt/work_smn4cq6uz5frnbxwot56y6wuim.txt
