A Vertical Grid Module for Baroclinic Models of the Atmosphere

摘要: The vertical grid of an atmospheric model assigns dynamic and thermo- variables to locations. coordinate is typically not height but one a class meteorological that vary with atmo- spheric conditions. system chosen further numerical approx- imations the boundary conditions so terrain following at surface. Lagrangian coordinates are useful in reducing errors from advection processes. That choices will effect numercial properties accuracy explored this report. A MATLAB for Lorentz grids described applied struc- ture equation baroclinic circulation. generalized meteo- rolgoical developed which can support σ, isentropic θ coordinate, or coordinates. column includes kinematic ther- modynamic along methods computing geopoentials terms relevant 3D baroclinc model.
