The results of numerical simulation of the dynamics of an atmospheric boundary layer with high horizontal resolution (333m) over Tomsk using the WRF mesoscale model version 4.2 with two turbulence parameterization schemes – the Mellor–Yamada–Nakanishi–Niino boundary layer scheme and the SMS-3DTKE turbulent kinetic energy scheme, adaptive to the grid scale, are presented.
