Abstract

During the past years the atmospheric modeling community, both from the application and pure research perspectives, has been facing the challenge of high resolution numerical modeling in places with complex topography. In February 2012, as a result of the collaborative efforts of the Institute of Meteorology of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKUMet), the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC), the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics of the University of Innsbruck (IMG) and the enthusiasm of the scientific community, the HiRCoT workshop was held in Vienna, Austria. HiRCoT objectives were to: 1) Identify the problems
encountered with numerical modeling at grid spacing lower than 1 km over complex terrain, that is, understand the key areas that are troublesome and formulate the key questions about them; 2) Map out possibilities on how to address these issues; 3) Allow the researchers to discuss the issues on a shared platform (online through a wikipage and face-to-face). This manuscript presents an overview of the topics and research priorities discussed in the workshop.

Keywords
