Vorticity budget over mountains, estimated from HIRLAM analyses and forecasts

The analysis of vorticity budgets offers a possibility for validation and diagnosis of a NWP model. The source terms of the equation are related to the resolved and subgrid-scale torque due to the orography and surface properties. In this study, the vorticity method was applied to the diagnosis of H...
