Abstract
A meso-γ-scale atmospheric model has been used to simulate atmospheric circulations observed during the Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment (GIMEX). The simulations shown here are two-dimensional and cover the 12-13 July 1991 period, a typical summer situation in this area. The synoptic-scale wind forcing is included. Simulated wind, temperature, humidity, and turbulent fluxes compare reasonably well with available observations. The simulated heat used to melt snow or ice is also shown. -from Authors
