A study of ensemble size and shallow water dynamics with the Maximum Likelihood Ensemble Filter
In this paper we perform a study using the Maximum Likelihood Ensemble Filter, MLEF, developed at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), Colorado State University (CSU), and Florida State University (FSU), with CSU’s 2-dimensional shallow water equations model on the sphere. The aim of this study is to find the optimal number of ensemble members, with respect to the ro...
متن کاملGeneralized Hamiltonian point vortex dynamics on arbitrary domains using the method of fundamental solutions
A new algorithm (VOR-MFS) is presented for the solution of a generalized Hamiltonian model of point vortex dynamics in an arbitrary two-dimensional computational domain. The VOR-MFS algorithm utilizes the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) to obtain an approximation to the model Hamiltonian by solution of an appropriate boundary value problem. Unlike standard point vortex methods, VOR-MFS re...
متن کاملA balanced semi-implicit discretization on icosahedral C-grids for the linear shallow water equations on the sphere
The linear shallow water equations on the sphere are discretized on a quasi-uniform, geodesic, icosahedral Voronoi-Delaunay grid with a C-grid variable arrangement and semi-implicit time discretization. A finite volume discretization is employed for the continuity equation in conservation law form, using as control volumes either the hexagonal/pentagonal or the dual triangular cells. A geostrop...
متن کاملCyclone-anticyclone asymmetry of large-scale wakes in the laboratory
We performed an experimental study of large-scale wakes in a rotating shallow-water layer. Standard particle image velocimetry was used to measure the horizontal velocity field, while a laser-induced fluorescence technique was used to measure the geopotential deviation i.e., the interface deviation . According to these measurements, we were able to quantify the dynamics in a wide region of para...
متن کاملDynamics on the Sphere *
Salmon's nearly geostrophic model for rotating shallow-water flow is derived in full spherical geometry. The model, which results upon constraining the velocity field to the height field in Hamilton's principle for rotating shallow-water dynamics, constitutes an important prototype of Hamiltonian balanced models. Instead of Salmon's original approach, which consists in taking variations of part...
