The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model was run in three different configurations over\nSvalbard Archipelago and compared with the 12-day summer measurements of surface wind characteristics\nat three sites along the western coast of Petuniabukta, central Spitsbergen. For studying...
