Ensemble sensitivity analysis of a severe downslope windstorm in complex terrain: implications for forecast predictability scales and targeted observing networks

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === Multiple mesoscale numerical weather simulations are conducted to evaluate whether Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis (ESA) is a useful tool determining the sensitivity of a severe downslope windstorm (DSWS) in complex terrain to initial conditio...
