Abstract: Part I of this paper examined nine trace constituent advection algorithms as applied in channel versions of the University of Wisconsin hybrid isentropic?sigma (??σ) and sigma (σ) models. This paper examines the performance ...

Abstract: The University of Wisconsin hybrid isentropic?sigma (??σ) coordinate channel model and the nominally identical sigma (σ) model are used to test the relative capabilities of nine trace constituent transport algorithms. The ...

Abstract: In an initial effort in regional numerical weather prediction, results from the University of Wisconsin isentropic-sigma (UW ??σ) hybrid model and an ?identical? sigma model are compared. The two main objectives are to ...

Abstract: The description of a global version of the University of Wisconsin (UW) hybrid isentropic-sigma (? ? σ) model and the results from an initial numerical weather prediction experiment are presented in this paper. The main ...

Abstract: In a validation experiment of a hybrid isentropic?sigma coordinate primitive equation model developed at the University of Wisconsin (the UW ??σ model), an initial value technique is used to investigate numerically the ...

Abstract: The main goals of this paper are 1) to demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating a prognostic equation for water vapor and diabatic processes in the University of Wisconsin ??σ model discussed in Part I, 2) to document ...

Abstract: The primary objectives of this study are threefold: 1) to compare simulators of dry and moist baroclinic development from 10-and 22-layer hybrid isentropic-sigma coordinate models with those from 11-, 27-, and 35-layer ...

Abstract: Five- and 10-day inert trace constituent distributions prognostically simulated with the University of Wisconsin (UW) hybrid isentropic?sigma (??σ) model, the nominally identical UW sigma (σ) model, and the National Center ...
