2D model simulations of 11 January 1972 Boulder, Colorado windstorm showing
potential temperature (colors) and position of every tenth model layer
(bold red lines)
Horizontal: 220 km domain, periodic boundary, delta x = 1km
Vertical: 25 km, rigid lid, 125 levels
Animations (6-hour simulations)

z = 10 km (grid adapts as waves break to prevent coordinate
surfaces from crossing)
