- Abstract:
- High resolution (~10 m and 1 s) observations of flow separation will be made over a 2-3 month period on a steep hill (Gaudergrat in Switzerland). The hill is triangular in cross-section, 200 m high and 1 km long, with 40 deg slopes on each side. Observations will be made using 24 automatic weather stations (AWS), three turbulence towers, two Doppler sodars and radiosondes. Lower resolution observations will be made using over a 50 km range using operational AWS. The primary goal of the experiment will be to generate comprehensive test cases for development of the next generation of very high resolution numerical prediction models. The experiment will also advance knowledge of flow separation and turbulence at sharp edges.
