Climate model biases in jet streams, blocking and storm tracks resulting from missing orographic drag

State‐of‐the art climate models generally struggle to represent important features of the large‐scale circulation. Common model deficiencies include an equatorward bias in the location of the midlatitude westerlies and an overly zonal orientation of the North Atlantic storm track. Orography is known...
