Evaluation of a dynamic-diagnostic modelling approach to generate highly resolved wind fields in the Alpine region

For generating highly resolved wind fields in the Alpine region the presented work focuses on the evaluation of a hybrid dynamic-diagnostic downscaling procedure. The diagnostic model CALMET is driven by the dynamic model MM5, which is nested into ECMWF's re-analysis ERA-40. Near surface winds...
