The Circulation Response to Resolved Versus Parametrized Orographic Drag Over Complex Mountain Terrains

Abstract The accuracy with which parametrizations of orographic blocking and orographic gravity wave drag (OGWD) are able to reproduce the explicitly resolved impacts on flow over complex terrain is investigated in two models: the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) and the European Centre for Medium‐R...
