Effect of wind direction and orography on flow structures at Baja California Coast: A numerical approach

摘要

In order to study the effect of orography and wind variability on flow structures at Baja California Coast, the momentum primitive equations describing an atmospheric flow over that region were solved numerically employing the General Curvilinear Atmospheric Model. Simulations were performed for varying wind direction and compared to available observations. Wind field and related variables of interest for oceanography were also calculated.
