- Abstract (including Motivation, Hypothesis and Method)
-
The new hybrid sigma/pressure vertical coordinate, non-hydrostatic Meso model is being tested
for each of the six nested HiResWindow domains: 10-km Alaska (00Z), 8-km Western
U.S. (06Z), 8-km Central U.S. (12Z), 8-km Eastern U.S. (18Z), 8-km Hawaii (00Z and
12Z) and 8-km Puerto Rico (06Z and 18Z)
MESO MODEL BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
- Nonhydrostatic
- Second order energy and enstrophy conserving spatial differencing
- Forward-Backward/Adams-Bashforth time differencing
- Arakawa E-grid
- Hybrid sigma/pressure coordinate
- Similar physics package to operational Eta
