3.3 Nesting Run with 2 km Grids<br />

The overcast case was simulated again using<br />

a 2-km grid<br />

system nested from the 5~km simulation to see if more accurate terrain<br />

description will improve the results. The time series for the three<br />

locations are shown in Fig. 5a, 5b <strong>and</strong> 5c. The 5-km results <strong>and</strong> the<br />

VFM outputs are plotted together for easy comparison. The figures<br />

indicate that the 2-km forecast is only marginally better than the 5-<br />

km forecast.<br />
