Abstract

A two-dimensional, nonlinear, nonhydrostatic model is described which allows the calculation of moist airflow in mountainous terrain. The model is compressible, uses a terrain-following co-ordinate system, and employs lateral and upper boundary conditions which minimize wave reflections.-from Authors
