Abstract: Based on the box method, finite-difference versions of a system of primitive equations in spherical coordinates are formulated for a spherical grid. Non-linear computational instability cannot occur in time integrations ...

Abstract: The primitive equations of motion in spherical coordinates are integrated with respect to time on global grids with mean horizontal resolutions of 500 and 250 km. There are nine levels in the models from 80 m to 28 km above ...

Abstract: The ?primitive equations of motion? are adopted for this study. The nine levels of the model are distributed so as to resolve surface boundary layer fluxes as well as radiative transfer by ozone, carbon dioxide, and water ...

Abstract: The results of a numerical time integration of a hemispheric general circulation model of the atmosphere with moist processes and a uniform earth's surface has already been published by Manabe, Smagorinsky, and Strickler. ...

Abstract: A simple, free-surface, barotropic model and a nine-level, baroclinic model are numerically time integrated on both latitude-longitude grids and on Kurihara-type grids to compare the results obtained from the two grid ...

Abstract: A mathematical model of the atmosphere with a seasonal variation of insulation and sea surface temperatures is integrated numerically with respect to time over three model years. The model has a global computational domain ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the structure and energetics of the tropical circulation which emerged from a numerical time integration of a global circulation model with realistic orography. Near the earth's surface, the general ...
