Q: For the Taiwan monitor in elevated terrain is the disagreement between the model + measurement due to inaccuracy in specifying the diffusivities for your RDM or in getting the flow field right for this monitor which is in complex terrain?
A: The resolution used in this comparison is 1° in both latitude and longitude. For that reason the model misses the complexity of the terrain which one reason for the disagreement. Another reason is the modeling of the boundary layer details in this complex terrain and on these altitudes. Further investigations have to be made to understand how to interpret the model under these conditions and tests with higher resolution is a first step in this work.
