NUMERICAL INTEGRATION OF THE QUASI-GEOSTROPHIC EQUATIONS FOR BAROTROPIC AND SIMPLE BAROCLINIC FLOWS

摘要: Abstract An n-level generalization of the 2½-dimensional model is derived by specialization complete three-dimensional quasi-geostrophic equations. In case n = 1, it reduces to two-dimensional single-layer barometric model. N 2, double-layer barotropic model, or — what shown be mathematically equivalent —the Methods numerical integration 2- and equations, machine requirements for such integrations, are discussed. The results a series six forecasts 12 24 hours presented. Although noticeably superior forecasts, apparent that considerable improvement will possible with models in which there fewer artificial constraints. A method therefore proposed computation schemes outlined general th...
