Abstract

A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic model is used to calculate the complex wind field in a coastal and a hilly region. These results are used to test the applicability of a mass-consistent wind model for different numbers of input wind data. While for the coastal area the mass consistent model calculates reasonable results even for a small number of input wind data, this number increases significantly in complex terrain.
