Abstract
Abstract The central ideas of a validation concept are outlined. The concept is applicable to high-resolution atmospheric mesoscale models, which calculate wind, temperature and humidity fields as well as pollutant concentrations and which might be used as regulatory models. The validation concept takes into account model characteristics, the model realization and results from selected case studies. It includes five criteria: completeness, comprehensibility, code quality, result quality and result control . The concept may be used by model developers and users to determine the validity of their models and to evaluate its applicability for the simulation of atmospheric phenomena, developing in an area of horizontal extension between 10 and 300 km in the lower troposphere in mid-latitudes.
