Abstract

A mesoscale model, which is suitable to simulate the distribution of meteorological variables with high resolution in space and time in a region of typically 50 km ×50 km is described. The model's applicability in complex terrain is demonstrated by several examples, namely local weather prediction, calculation of complex wind fields and dispersion, and local climate study.
