## Abstract This paper compares the wind field from a diagnostic model (CALMET) over complex terrain in the Phoenix region in the USA with observations that are gridded by a state‐of‐the‐art Four‐Dimensional Data Assimilation (FDDA) system. The wind difference between the CALMET and FDDA wind field
