SIMULATIONS OF MESOSCALE FLOW OVER AN ARCTIC FJORD

摘要

Mesoscale flow over Isfjorden, Svalbard, was simulated applying the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The direction of the large scale flow affects local wind-, temperature- and humidity fields as well as the spatial distribution of the turbulent fluxes. Spatial differences are largest when the large scale wind is blowing along the fjord.
