  • Abstract:
  • 30 years of ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA5) are dynamically downscaled from 1986 to 2015 with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model over central Himalayan region at convection permitting grid spacing (6.7 km). In winter and summer, the central Himalaya has been under the influence of an anti-cyclonic trend, which in summer the downscaling shows has reduced cloud cover, leading to significant warming and reduced snowfall in recent years. The aim of this study is to present the wind speed climate in the central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand based on ERA5 and to identify any long-term linear trends. Additionally, Inter-annual variability of wind speed has been examined in seven meteorological stations in Uttarakhand Himalaya.
