Abstract: The article discusses the extensive description of the physical and numerical formulation of the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation (DALES). The model can be applied to studies including atmospheric boundary layer, flow over sloping or heterogeneous terrain, and dispersion of inert and chemically active species. The resolution of turbulent scales larger than a certain filter width and the parameterization of smaller, less energetic scales are aimed in Large-Eddy Simulations (LES).
