NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE An Analysis of the Nonhydrostatic Dynamics in Numerically Simulated Antarctic
A series of two-dimensional numerical experiments was conducted in order to describe the role of nonhy-drostatic dynamics in simple Antarctic katabatic flows. The results presented include a comparison of the thermodynamic and dynamic fields produced by hydrostatic and nonhydrostatic numerical simul...
