A Study of the Error of Discretization in the Air Force Global Weather Central Boundary Layer Model.

Abstract

The computational structure in the vertical of the Air Force Global Weather Central Boundary Layer Model is analyzed. The approach used is to measure the degree of inaccuracy in the numerical solution of a time-dependent problem by the error of the steady-state solution incurred through discretization procedures. It is found that the present structure contains defects that are amenable to improvements that can be implemented without a substantial increase in computational effort.
