- Abstract:
- The recent progress in our understanding of the representation of balanced, vertical flow, imbalanced flow, and gravity wave-vortex interactions in idealised models of the atmosphere is exploited to design highly more accurate numerical algorithms. Because of its unparalleled accuracy on Rossby-Ertel potential vorticity, the Contour-Advective Semi-Lagrangian (CASL) algorithm is combined with various sets of prognostic variables to search for the optimal spherical CASL. The optimal algorithm is used to construct a three-dimensional global model of the atmosphere for the use in numerical climate and weather prediction enterprises.
