Spatial kinetic energy spectra in the convection-permitting limited-area NWP model COSMO-DE

Kinetic energy spectra derived from commercial aircraft observations of horizontal wind velocities exhibit a k-5/ 3 wavenumber dependence on the mesoscale that merges into a k-3 dependence on the macroscale. In this study, spectral analysis is applied to evaluate the mesoscale ensemble prediction sy...
