Abstract All atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) need some form of dissipation,
either explicitly specified or inherent in the chosen numerical schemes for the spatial and …

This article describes the non‐hydrostatic dynamical core developed for the ICOsahedral
Non‐hydrostatic (ICON) modelling framework. ICON is a joint project of the German Weather …

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) is in a period of transition. As resolutions increase,
global models are moving towards fully nonhydrostatic dynamical cores, with the local and …

This report presents the details of the governing equations, physical parameterizations, and
numerical algorithms defining the version of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model …

The formulation of a fully compressible nonhydrostatic atmospheric model called the Model
for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS-A) is described. The solver is discretized …

Following previous work on an inherently mass‐conserving semi‐implicit (SI) semi‐
Lagrangian (SL) discretization of the two‐dimensional (2D) shallow‐water equations and 2D …

The best hope for reducing long-standing global climate model biases is by increasing
resolution to the kilometer scale. Here we present results from an ultrahigh-resolution non …

It is the purpose of this paper to provide a comprehensive documentation of the new NCAR
(National Center for Atmospheric Research) version of the spectral element (SE) dynamical …

Kinetic energy (KE) spectra derived from global high-resolution atmospheric simulations
from the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) are presented. The simulations are …
