Abstract: The vorticity method is applied to determine horizontal divergence using the dynamical balance of terms in the vorticity equation. The viability of the method is analyzed in terms of dynamical approximations, sensitivity ...

Abstract: Mesoscale bounded derivative initialization (BDI) is utilized to derive dynamical constraints, from which elliptic equations are formulated to derive smooth initial fields over complex terrain for mesoscale models. The ...

Abstract: In recent years, there has been extensive study of the mathematical basis of weather prediction leading to a new system of continuous equations that are well posed, and a set of conditions that make discrete atmospheric ...

Abstract: A new mesoscale weather prediction model, called QNH, is described. It is characterized by a parameter that multiplies the hydrostatic terms in the vertical equation of motion. Models of this type are referred to generically ...
