Katabatic winds on ice sheets: A refinement of the Prandtl model
Katabatic winds on ice sheets and glaciers are buoyancy-driven flows, much like turbidity currents in the ocean. These winds are driven by radiative cooling of the ice surface are not resolved by the typical horizontal and vertical discretization of general circulation models; therefore, a parameter...
