Uncertainty in the Representation of Orography in Weather and Climate Models and Implications for Parameterized Drag

Uncertainty in the Representation of Orography in Weather and Climate Models and Implications for Parameterized Drag

Abstract The representation of orographic drag remains a major source of uncertainty for numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. Its accuracy depends on contributions from both the model grid‐scale orography and the subgrid‐scale orography (SSO). Different models use different source...
