Basic Convective and Mesoscale Research
– Adaptive High-Order Methods for Nonhydrostatic Numerical Weather Prediction
Funding Agency: NSF
Objectives
Explore the efficiency of high-order and adaptive formulations
for nonhydrostatic equations.
Accomplishments
New students (one MS in meteorology and one PhD in Math) were trained
in the basics of FORTRAN programming, numerical techniques (interpolation,
quadrature, Legendre polynomials, finite element methods, finite difference
methods, and time stepping methods) and participated in an NCAR WRF
training workshop in preparation for research on this NSF-funded project.
A presentation was made on early stages of this work at the SIAM Geosciences
Meeting in March 2007.
This project is ongoing.
