Comparison between Wavenumber Truncation and Horizontal Diffusion Methods in Spectral Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Commonly used horizontal diffusion and wavenumber truncation dealiasing methods in spectral models are verified using the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model version 3. For the same horizontal grid resolution, time step, physical processes, boundary conditions, and initial conditions, the simulated climate, using the horizontal diffusion alone model, is better than that using the wavenumber truncation method. In comparison with the observed climate data, the global root-mean-square of simulated January monthly mean 500-hPa geopotential using the horizontal diffusion alone model is 25% less than that using the wavenumber truncation model. However, for the same spectral resolution, the wavenumber truncation model (high horizontal grid resolution) leads to more accurate solutions than the horizontal diffusion model (low horizontal grid resolution).

Spectral Viscosity for Shallow Water Equations in Spherical Geometry
A spherical spectral viscosity operator is proposed as an alternative to standard horizontal diffusion terms in global atmospheric models. Implementation in NCAR’s Spectral Transform Shallow Water Model and application to a suite of standard test cases demonstrates improvement in resolution and numerical conservation of invariants at no extra computational cost. The retention in the spectral vi...

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is extensively used in geothechnical engineering. In a variety of conditions it is essential to predict the torque required for performing the reaming operation. Nevertheless, there is presently not a convenient method to accomplish this task. To overcome this problem, in this research, the application of computational intelligence methods for data analysis...
متن کاملSixth-Order Difference Scheme for Sigma Coordinate Ocean Models
How to reduce the horizontal pressure gradient error is a key issue of using s-coordinate ocean models, especially of using primitive equation models for coastal regions. The error is caused by the splitting of the horizontal pressure gradient term into two parts and the subsequent incomplete cancellation of the truncation errors of those parts. Due to the fact that the higher the order of the ...
متن کاملA multi-layer spectral model and the semi-implicit method
The formulaton of a multi-layer primitive equation model on the sphere is described. The horizontal representation is by means of spherical harmonics, truncated either in the triangular or rhomboidal manner. The time integration is performed using the semi-implicit method in which the linearized gravity wave terms are time averaged and thus the fast moving waves of this type are slowed. For a S...
متن کاملComparison of Passivity Preserving Model Reduction Methods
Model-order reduction has become increasingly important during the past decade. As the size of very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits shrinks, while the operating frequencies and integration densities increase, the correct simulation of interconnects between transistors has become a must. Chip interconnects are described by large linear RLC networks, which are often difficult to simulate ...
