Simulating a severe windstorm in complex terrain

The severe windstorm that hit Iceland on 1 February 2002 is analyzed using high-resolution numerical simulations, conventional observations at the ground and satellite images. The windstorm and the great mesoscale variability in the observed wind are reproduced by the numerical simulations, with inc...
