Abstract

Barrier jets in coastal Alaska, which occured during the period from 29 December 2000 through 30 December 2000, were analyzed using Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and high-resolution MM5. SAR imagery from the near-real-time wind archive at JHU/APL was screened and barrier jet cases were selected. The MM5 was set down to 5km grid spacing around the area of interest and was run using the MRF PBL, simple ice microphysics, and the Kain-Fritsch convective parameterization. It was observed that the atmosphere east of the mountain barrier could play an important role in strengthening and maintaining the observed wind speed maximum along the coast.
