Comparison of Discretization Accuracy in an Adaptive Multigrid Barotropic Tropical Cyclone Track Model
Abstract
Among the many sources of error in modeling tropical cyclones is discretization error: how well are the governing equations approximated numerically? While discretization error is typically small, numerical methods with smaller errors should be preferred over others, all else being equal. This paper addresses the tradeoff between higher-accuracy discretization and increased computational work in an adaptive multigrid tropical cyclone track model.
