Interaction of katabatic winds and mesocyclones near the eastern coast of Greenland

Abstract Satellite images occasionally show the existence of mesocyclones (MCs) close to the eastern coast of Greenland, especially in the region of Angmagssalik/Tasiilaq. The forcing mechanisms of such MCs are investigated by means of numerical simulations with a three‐dimensional mesoscale model....
