3D MODEL STUDY ON FOG OVER COMPLEX TERRAIN-PART Ⅰ:NUMERICAL STUDY

A three-dimensional fog model,suitable for precipitous and complex terrain,is designed containing four prognostic variables-wind speed,potential temperature,specific humidity and mixing ratio of liquid water.The model considers turbulent exchange,the long-wave radiation on the ground surface and in the air.the short-wave solar radiation,the evaporation and condensation of moisture and the surface heat budget and so on.In order to make the model run steadily on precipitous and complex terrain,we have improved the method of calculating horizontal pressure gradient force in the terrain coordinate system.The results coincide on the whole with the actual situation.
