intermediate times. All simulations start at 1200 UTC on the previous day and were integrated for 36 h. Initialization of the land surface properties such as soil temperature, soil moisture, and snow cover using the NAM dataset resulted in poor simulation results (the near-surface flow at the central flux tower did not produce the observed valley wind shift near the end of the EOP time period). The NAM data contained large patches of snow approximately 0.5 m deep north of Independence and at the northern
