Summary

We have begun qualitative comparisons of VIL observations and LES of the lake-induced convective boundary layers. Our next steps include running

simulations with high spatial resolution grids and very large domains. We will also perform quantitative comparison of wind fields; boundary layer depth; shapes, sizes and correlation times of the structures in both the observations and model output as a function of offshore distance.
