The Greenland Flow Distortion Experiment, based in Keflavik, Iceland, took place during February 2007. Its aim was to improve the understanding and ability to predict interactions between the atmospheric circulation and the topography of Greenland, both locally and downstream over Western Europe. Hitherto rare in situ observations of high-impact weather systems and their associated air-sea fluxes in the coastal seas of Greenland, were obtained and will be used to improve the numerical modelling and prediction of these weather systems, and thus improve the quality of the atmospheric forcing fields that are essential for accurate atmosphere-ocean coupling and the thermohaline circulation. These measurements will also be used to improve the numerical modelling and prediction of high-impact weather systems over Europe through the use of targeted observations upstream in sensitive areas of the flow.
Remote and in situ measurements, and data collected onboard the FAAM Bae-146 aircraft(*) are available through the GFDex archive at the BADC. Forecast predictions from Met Office and HIRLAM models are also stored.
In addition high resolution radiosonde profiles released for the campaign are archived there.
