The influence of the Andes mountains on the South American low-level flow

A dry, hydrostatic, three-dimensional primitive equation model is used to evaluate the mechanical effect of the Andes mountains on the South American low-level flow (LLF). The model simulations reproduce the evolution of a baroclinic wave over the continent under winter and summer conditions. In bot...
