HIGH RESOLUTION NWP MODELLING OF THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ACROSS VATNAJÖKULL (ICELAND)
Abstract: We investigate the skill of an operational NWP model (HIRLAM) to reproduce the near-surface atmospheric conditions across the Vatnajökull Ice Sheet (Iceland). The study focuses on a mesoscale glaciometeorological observation campaign of summer 1996, which provided a wealth of meteorologica...
