A new version of the diagnostic wind model CONDOR for generating mass-consistent, three-dimensional wind fields has been developed by using an interpolation procedure which takes into account the probabilities of various wind directions. Results of this new version of CONDOR are compared with corresponding results of the original model version for the case of locally circulating flows. Specifically, both model versions are applied to the Greater Thessaloniki area for one typical sea breeze day in September 1991. The comparison is based on data collected in the frame of the Thessaloniki 1991 Field Measurement Campaign. The model results reveal the superiority of interpolating wind measurements in a physically more realistic manner.
