Abstract A one-layer mesoscale model based on the shallow water equations has been developed to examine atmospheric flow patterns within a well mixed planetary boundary layer over the Swiss Middleland. The model incorporates frictional and synoptic forcing effects and has a realistic meso-β scale representation of the Alpine and surrounding orography. Some model results are shown for one particular Case Study and also for several situations corresponding to different synoptic scale forcing.
