 abstract={Simulation of thermally induced valley winds in Yerevan has been performed using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-ARW) and verified with in situ observations in sensitivity experiments for JulyAugust, 2014. The Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) and the Yonsei University (YSU) planetary boundary-layer (PBL) schemes have been applied for implementation of the sensitivity study. It has been demonstrated that summertime mountain-valley winds developing around 1500 UTC have significant local impact on boundary-layer processes in Yerevan mainly during the evening and night hours strongly affecting near-surface wind conditions. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the PBL scheme variations significantly affect the model’s performance. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that the non-local YSU scheme performs better in simulating thermally induced valley winds in Yerevan than the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) closure MYJ scheme.},
