A Terrain-Following Coordinate System-Derivation of Diagnostic Relationships
Generalized hydrostatic and geostrophic equations can be derived from the equations in the terrain-following framework. The generalized hydrostatic equation permits some non-hydrostatic motions (as obtained from a Cartesian framework) to remain when a non-zero slope exists. Correspondingly, the generalized geostrophic wind permits a horizontal divergent component (in addition to divergence caus...
متن کاملAn analysis of the orthogonal terrain-following vertical grids on reducing the advection errors in the terrain-following coordinate
An orthogonal terrain-following coordinate (OS coordinate) was proposed by Li et al. (2013) to reduce the advection errors in the classic σ-coordinate. The OS coordinate can smooth the vertical layers above the steep terrain as well as create the orthogonal terrain-following grids in the vertical. The idealized advection experiments in Li et al. (2013) validated that the OS coordinate can signi...
متن کاملCoordinate Systems and Terrain Reusability
This paper is about a coordinate system problem for the “live” aspect of LVC training that impacts terrain reusability. Commonly used commercial software for producing correlated terrains has an outdated definition of datums that assumes that NAD83 and WGS84 are still equivalent, and does not take into account the newer realizations of these, or the fact that there have been significant plate t...
متن کاملHydrostatic correction for sigma coordinate ocean models
[1] How to reduce the horizontal pressure gradient error is a key issue in terrain-following coastal models. The horizontal pressure gradient splits into two parts, and incomplete cancellation of the truncation errors of those parts cause the error. Use of the finite volume discretization leads to a conserved scheme for pressure gradient computation that has better truncation properties with hi...
متن کاملA Community Terrain-Following Ocean Modeling System
The long-term technical goal is to design, to develop and to test the next generation primitive equation, Terrain-following Ocean Modeling System (TOMS) for high-resolution scientific and operational applications. This project will improve the ocean modeling capabilities of the U.S. Navy for relocatable, coastal, coupled atmosphere-ocean forecasting applications. It will also benefit the ocean ...
