Coupled mesoscale-LES modeling of a diurnal cycle during the CWEX-13 field campaign: From weather to boundary-layer eddies
Muñoz-Esparza, D., J. K. Lundquist, J. A. Sauer, B. Kosović, and R. R. Linn (2017), Coupled mesoscale-LES modeling of a diurnal cycle during the CWEX-13 field campaign: From weather to boundary-layer eddies, J. Adv. Model. Earth Syst., 9, 1572–1594, doi:10.1002/2017MS000960.
The article presents the first known NWP simulations of real-world weather that span four orders of magnitude in resolution from the synoptic scale to the large-eddy simulation (LES) scale (111 km to 8.2 m), explicitly resolving realistic three-dimensional eddies in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL)
