Applying a Mesoscale Atmospheric Model to Svalbard Glaciers

Table 14

Wind speed statistics in summer and winter 2009-2010 in 2.7 km resolution, with and without increased vertical resolution in the boundary layer (high vert. res.) and in 900 m resolution. Bold numbers indicate the best result for each AWS. Vestfonna data are not used here because of the lack of data during the chosen period.
