Upstream effects of an Alpine-scale mountain ridge under various flow angles

Numerical simulations are presented to investigate the upstream effects induced by an east-west-oriented, Alpine-scale mountain ridge under various flow angles. Due to the influence of the Coriolis force, the flow around the mountain is strongly asymmetric in the case of northerly flow, most of the...
