Separating Physics and Dynamics Grids for Improved Computational Efficiency in Spectral Element Earth System Models

Abstract Previous studies have shown that atmospheric models with a spectral element grid can benefit from putting physics calculations on a relatively coarse finite volume grid. Here we demonstrate an alternative high‐order, element‐based mapping approach used to implement a quasi‐equal‐area, finit...
