Parameterizing surface wind speed over complex topography

Subgrid parameterizations are used in coarse‐scale meteorological and land surface models to account for the impact of unresolved topography on wind speed. While various parameterizations have been suggested, these were generally validated on a limited number of measurements in specific geographical...
