The challenges of nesting large-eddy simulation (LES) within the Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model are examined and addressed in this work. Coastal low-level jet (LLJ) events in field campaigns CBLAST-LOW 2001 and NEAQS-ITCT 2004 are used as case studies. Nested LES models offer an advantage in...
