Flow types for 2D validation

• Theoretical cases:

  • approximation al<ə
    • neutral flow (weak stratification, strong winds, small mountain)
  • approximation al>ɭ
    • hydrostatic flows (strong stratification, weak winds, large mountain)
  • approximation al ~1
    • non-hydrostatic flows

• Boulder wind foehn episode (January 1972)

  • strongly non-linear case
