Nonhydrostatic models: 2/4

(a) Streamline at surface and terrain over White Sands. (b) Streamline (red lines) and virtual potential temperature (indicated by background shaded colors) at z-1.8km. Warm color (red) indicates subsidence warming on the lee-side, and cold color (blue) indicates adiabatic cooling on the windward side of the mountain. The height of terrain is indicated by black contours (in m).
