Abstract
A detailed modeling of meteorological parameters over the last 30 years (1985–2014) has been performed for the Sea of Okhotsk and Sakhalin regions in the frame of the COSMO-CLM regional mesometeorological nonhydrostatic atmospheric model. The downscaling technology is suggested and achieved with three consequent “nesting domains” (with 13.2-, 6.6-, and 2.2-km grid scales). The COSMO-CLM model reproduces (especially successfully on the 2.2-km grid scale) the extremes of wind velocity observed by meteorological stations well. Synoptic situations accompanied by extreme wind speeds are reproduced in detail.
