Trajectories were calculated using the three- dimensional, limited area primitive equation Eta model with step-mountain coordinates (Mesinger 1984; Mesinger et al, 1988; Janjic 1990; Janjic 1994). Calculation of trajectories The horizontal wind components (%, v) from the Eta model are defined on a latitude-longitude (X,cp) grid, and the vertical component of motion r\ = drj / dt is defined at interfaces at points staggered with respe
