Abstract: Orthonormal wavelet analysis (OWA) is a special form of wavelet analysis, especially suitable for analyzing spatial structures, such as atmospheric fields. For this purpose, OWA is much more efficient and accurate than the ...

Abstract: Orthonormal wavelet analysis of the primitive momentum equations enables a new formulation of atmospheric energetics, providing a new description of transfers and fluxes of kinetic energy (KE) between structures that are ...

Abstract: A new wavelet energetics technique, based on best-shift orthonormal wavelet analysis (OWA) of an instantaneous synoptic map, is constructed for diagnosing nonlinear kinetic energy (KE) transfers in five observed blocking ...

Abstract: Wavelet energetics (WE) is a useful generalization of traditional wavenumber energetics, for analyzing atmospheric dynamics. WE is doubly indexed by wavenumber band j and location k. The interpretation is that 2 to the jth ...

Abstract: Alternative meshes of the sphere and adaptive mesh refinement could be immensely beneficial for weather and climate forecasts, but it is not clear how mesh refinement should be achieved. A finite-volume model that solves ...

Abstract: Fast, accurate computation of geophysical fluid dynamics is often very challenging. This is due to the complexity of the PDEs themselves and their initial and boundary conditions. There are several practical advantages to ...

Abstract: As an effort toward improving climate model?component performance and accuracy, an atmospheric-component climate model has been developed, entitled the Spectral Element Atmospheric Climate Model and denoted as CAM_SEM. ...

Abstract: The authors describe a recent development and some applications of a spectral element dynamical core. The improvements and development include the following: (i) the code was converted from FORTRAN 77 to FORTRAN 90; (ii) ...
