Abstract
The flow regime in Greater Athens Area (GAA) is numerically investigated by a mesoscale, higher-order turbulence closure model. The model is three-dimensional, hydrostatic, with a terrain following coordinate system and it solves the mean quantities as well as the turbulent energy equation prognostically. This enables the explicit treatment of horizontal inhomogeneity and unsteadiness, which are key features in the area under study. It has been developed at the Department of Meteorology in Uppsala (MIUU) (Enger, 1986).
