Unique data from a 100-m meteorological mast located on the windward side of the Dinaric Alps, Croatia, are compared to high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations. This was performed for an especially strong and long-lasting (more than 20 days) wintertime bora event. The agreement between the measurements on the mast and the respective WRF simulation was generally very good, even with respect to the time series of the turbulence kinetic energy. Based on this finding, which validates the WRF model suitability for numerical simulations of transient winds in windward areas, this approach can be used in future studies to explore the severe bora upwind of the coastal mountains, which has been studied inadequately thus far. In this context, some of the preliminary results are outlined here.

来自克罗地亚迪纳里克阿尔卑斯山迎风侧的 100 米气象桅杆的独特数据与高分辨率天气研究和预报 (WRF) 模型模拟进行了比较。这是为一个特别强烈和持久（超过 20 天）的冬季波拉事件执行的。桅杆上的测量结果与各自的 WRF 模拟之间的一致性通常非常好，即使在湍流动能的时间序列方面也是如此。基于这一发现，验证了 WRF 模型适用于迎风地区瞬态风的数值模拟，该方法可用于未来的研究，以探索迄今为止研究不足的沿海山区的严重波拉逆风。在此背景下，此处概述了一些初步结果。
