Numerical representation of mountains in atmospheric models
Numerical weather and climate models are using increasingly fine meshes that resolve small-scale, steeply-sloping terrain. Terrain-following meshes become highly distorted above such steep slopes, degrading the numerical balance between the pressure gradient and gravity. Furthermore, existing models...
