Interpolation on spherical geodesic grids: a comparative study
نویسنده
چکیده
Most operational models in atmospheric physics, meteorology and climatology nowadays adopt spherical geodesic grids and require “ad hoc” developed interpolation procedures. The author does a comparison between chosen representatives of linear, distance based and cubic interpolation schemes outlining their advantages and drawbacks in this specific application field. Numerical experiments on a standard test problem, while confirming a good performance of linear and distance based schemes in a single interpolation step, also show their minor accuracy with respect to the cubic scheme in the more realistic simulation of advection of a meteorological field.

An Adaptive Multilevel Wavelet Solver for Elliptic Equations on an Optimal Spherical Geodesic Grid
An adaptive multilevel wavelet solver for elliptic equations on an optimal spherical geodesic grid is developed. The method is based on second-generation spherical wavelets on almost uniform optimal spherical geodesic grids. It is an extension of the adaptive multilevel wavelet solver [O. V. Vasilyev and N. K.-R. Kevlahan, J. Comput. Phys., 206 (2005), pp. 412–431] to curved manifolds. Wavelet ...
متن کاملTrajectory calculations for spherical geodesic grids in Cartesian space
This paper shows how to obtain accurate and efficient trajectory calculations for spherical geodesic grids in Cartesian space. Determination of the departure points is essential to characteristic-based methods that trace the value of a function to the foot of the characteristics and then either integrate or interpolate at this location. In this paper, the departure points are all computed in re...
متن کاملIntegration of barotropic vorticity equation over spherical geodesic grid using multilevel adaptive wavelet collocation method
In this paper, we present the multilevel adaptive wavelet collocation method for solving non-divergent barotropic vorticity equation over spherical geodesic grid. This method is based on multi-dimensional second generation wavelet over a spherical geodesic grid. The method is more useful in capturing, identifying, and analyzing local structure [1] than any other traditional methods (i.e. finite...
متن کاملAnalysis of grid imprinting on geodesic spherical icosahedral grids
Numerical grid imprinting errors have often been observed in global atmospheric models on icosahedral grids. In this paper we analyse the sources of grid imprinting error related to the usual finite volume discretization of the divergence operator. We introduce the concept of alignment of computational cells, and establish that convergence of second order is attained on aligned cells. Moreover,...
متن کاملSemi-Lagrangian advection on a spherical geodesic grid
A simple and efficient numerical method for solving the advection equation on the spherical surface is presented. To overcome the well-known ‘pole problem’ related to the polar singularity of spherical coordinates, the space discretization is performed on a geodesic grid derived by a uniform triangulation of the sphere; the time discretization uses a semi-Lagrangian approach. These two choices,...
