Windward measurements and WRF simulation of a long-lasting severe Bora event

An exceptionally long-lasting (more than 20 days) and strong bora event (winter of 2012) was captured by instruments on a 100-m meteorological mast, located upwind of the coastal mountains. This data is used to validate a high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulation (finest grid resolution of 300 m). Based on the agreement between the model and the measurements, which validates the WRF-ARW model suitability for numerical simulations of transient winds in windward areas, this approach is intended to be deployed for future studies with the aim of exploring the severe Bora upwind of the coastal mountains. In this context, we outline some of the preliminary results.
