Simulation of the katabatic flow near the Greenland ice margin using a high-resolution nonhydrostatic model

Simulations of the katabatic wind system in the stable boundary layer near the margin of the Greenland ice sheet are presented using the high-resolution (2.8 km) non-hydrostatic Lokal-Modell (LM) of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). The LM is nested into numerical forecasts provided by the hydrostat...
