Alexander Gohm, Johannes Wagner, Daniel Leukauf, Moritz Lang, and Mathias Rotach Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Innsbruck, Austria Weather and climate in mountainous regions are strongly influenced by thermally driven winds. They control the exchange of heat, moisture, momentum and pollutants between the valley and the free atmosphere. As a result of valley and slope winds, the magnitude of the net vertical flux of various physical quantities can be several times the net flux over flat terrain. In order to quantify this difference between flat and complex terrain we conducted a comprehensive series of high resolution numerical simulations for various different idealized valley shapes and magnitudes of surface heat fluxes. The talk will summarize the current state of this research project and will show future perspectives.
