Along-coast features of the bora related turbulence

The mesoscale bora structure in the along-coast direction (normal to the mean bora flow) is featured by an interchange of jets and wakes related to mountain gaps and peaks. Here we examine the along-coast, off-shore turbulence structure of the bora that occurred on 7 November 1999 during the Mesoscale Alpine Program (MAP) Intensive Observation Period 15. We use the aircraft and dropsonde data measured along the lee side of the Dinaric Alps over the Adriatic by the NCAR Electra aircraft. The results are compared with the output from the WRF ARW numerical model.
