WAVE BREAKING OVER GREENLAND AND A BARRIER JET IN EASTERLY FLOW

amplified mountain waves that break both in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. At the surface, there are locally strong winds. Sensitivity studies indicate that horizontal resolution as high as 3 km is needed to reproduce the observed turbulence. It is suggested that real-time simulations at t...

Description
Summary:amplified mountain waves that break both in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. At the surface, there are locally strong winds. Sensitivity studies indicate that horizontal resolution as high as 3 km is needed to reproduce the observed turbulence. It is suggested that real-time simulations at that resolution would improve aviation forecasts.
