Abstract

Nonhydrostatic mesoscale model MM5 was used in order to model a spatial distribution of bura wind in Maslenica bridge region (Croatia). A 3 km domain and a 1 km domain nested in a 3 km horizontal domain were used. Both runs were initialized from the same NWP ALADIN/Hr runs. Spatial differences between the model setups are addresed. The main characteristics of wind field was well indicated on both domains. It is found that 1 km domain much better reproduces local characteristics of wind field than 3 km domain.
