Evaluating hydrostatic vs. non-hydrostatic dynamics in RegCM5: a 50-year simulation of near-surface wind speed over the Yellow River Basin
Accurate simulation of near-surface wind speed over complex terrain is essential for wind energy assessment, ecological conservation, and hydroclimatic change studies. This study evaluates the RegCM5 regional climate model over the Yellow River Basin (YRB), China, using 50-year (1971–2020) ERA5-driven simulations at 25...
