Abstract:

 

Here we describe the spectral transform method for modeling geophysical fluids. Actually we discuss two popular methods plus the vector harmonic transform method and note that others exist. The methods are presented by application to shallow water equations.

 

Topics:


Vector harmonic methods and attributes

Ritchie's U, V model (ECMWF)

Shallow water equations with bounded terms

Vorticity and divergence (NCAR model)

Model results
