Animation of the vertical velocity and potential temperature for the reference simulation rf08_003b

<p>This animation shows the 12 h temporal evolution of the simulated 2D vertical wind field and potential temperature over the Scandinavian mountains for 28 January 2016. The numerical simulation is initialized with one-hourly ECMWF IFS upstream profiles taken at 61&deg;N and 1&deg;E and averaged from 12 to 18 UTC. The IFS input data are spectrally truncated to T21 in order to filter gravity waves out. The animation shows the computational domain extending from 0 to 20 km altitude (model top is at 80 km) and the whole horizontal domain excluding the lateral absorbers. Horizontal and vertical resolution is 500 m and 250 m, respectively, the time step is 2 s and the output for this animation is every 120 s.</p>
