Global Weather Prediction Model Difference Schemes.

Abstract

One case of analytic data and one case of real data were numerically integrated using a five level baroclinic primitive equation global model of the general circulation. The feasibility of using a mixed second order and fourth order space differencing scheme to improve the phase speeds of meteorological waves was examined. The results indicate that mixed scheme tends to give a better representation of the phase speeds than the second order scheme does. (Author)
