Validating CFD Predictions of Flow over an Escarpment Using Ground-Based and Airborne Measurement Devices

Micrometeorological observations from a tower, an eddy-covariance (EC) station and an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) at the WINSENT test-site are used to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, driven by a mesoscale model. The observation site is characterised by a forested escarpment i...
