Because of the resolution of the ECMWF analyses, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is at a higher elevation in the model than it is on the real earth.

M28 represents the location of an observation of a CACS on 6 April 1928, as reported by McBryde (1932).ĮCMWF analyses. The narrowness of this gap is not completely resolved by the ECMWF analyses therefore, the model isthmus is higher and wider than the real isthmus is. An important difference between the model and real topography is the Chivela Pass. Dashed line represents 200-m contour, and shaded areas are higher than 500 m. 1) with locations of gulfs where gap wind events are commonly observed. Insert: actual earth topography adapted from Clarke (1988, his Fig. ECMWF (1.125° × 1.125° latitude–longitude resolution) topography over 500 m shaded according to legend. Map illustrating the topography and geographical locations discussed in this paper.
