NUMERICAL INTEGRATION OF THE PRIMITIVE EQUATIONS ON A SPHERICAL GRID
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new spherical grid system whose grid density on the globe is almost homogeneous is proposed. The elementary rules of finite differencing on the grid system are defined so that a desirable condition for numerical area ...
A Scheme of Moist Convective Adjustment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new method of moist convective adjustment is presented. A large-scale state of the atmosphere is assumed to be in a thermodynamically critical condition when a hypothetical cloud element can develop. As a result of the ...
ON THE USE OF IMPLICIT AND ITERATIVE METHODS FOR THE TIME INTEGRATION OF THE WAVE EQUATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The numerical properties of the trapezoidal implicit, the backward implicit, and partly implicit methods are investigated. The computational stability of these methods, the selective damping of waves, and the accuracy of ...
Budget Analysis of a Tropical Cyclone Simulated in an Axisymmetric Numerical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A tropical cyclone simulated in an axisymmetric numerical model is analyzed in detail from various aspects in order to deepen the understanding of the basic mechanisms of its evolution. Namely, the budget equations of ...
On the Development of Spiral Bands in a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Development of the band structure in a tropical cyclone is investigated by solving an eigenvalue problem for perturbations of spiral shape. The perturbations are superposed on a baroclinic circular vortex accompanied with ...
Experiments on the Seasonal Variation of the General Circulation in a Statistical-Dynamical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the seasonal change of a climaticc state of the atmosphere is made through the investigation of a response of a statistical-dynamical model to insolation having seasonal variation. Numerical experiments are ...
A Statistical-Dynamical Model of the General Circulation of the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical-dynamical, two-layer model of the atmosphere is constructed for the simulation of the climatic state of the global circulation. The meteorological variables, velocity, temperature and pressure, are decomposed ...
On the Transformation of a Tropical Easterly Wave into a Tropical Depression: A Simple Numerical Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Through the time integration of a simple numerical model, the transfomation of a tropical easterly wave into a tropical depression was investigated. The initial condition selected for the model is a slowly decaying adiabatic ...
