Numerical Simulation of Near-Surface Wind during a Severe Wind Event in a Complex Terrain by Multisource Data Assimilation and Dynamic Downscaling

Figure 6

Near-surface wind at 70 m above the ground level (vectors, unit: m s−1) and air temperature (shaded, unit: °c) at 1200 UTC 20 Oct 2010. (a) WRF; (b) WRF + 3DVAR; (c) the increment between WRF + 3DVAR and WRF (WRF + 3DVAR minus WRF). The white boxes show the Alataw valley and its vicinity areas.
