The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is an atmospheric modeling system
designed for both research and numerical weather prediction. WRF is an open-source …

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 …

Completely revised text focuses on use of spectral methods to solve boundary value,
eigenvalue, and time-dependent problems, but also covers Hermite, Laguerre, rational …

The step-mountain eta model has shown a surprising skill in forecasting severe storms.
Much of the credit for this should be given to the Betts and Miller (hereafter referred to as …

This comprehensive text describes the atmospheric processes, numerical methods, and
computational techniques required for a scientist to successfully study air pollution and …

An algorithm for extending one-dimensional, forward-in-time, upstream-biased, flux-form
transport schemes (eg, the van Leer scheme and the piecewise parabolic method) to …

A finite-volume dynamical core with a terrain-following Lagrangian control-volume
discretization is described. The vertically Lagrangian discretization reduces the …

A two-equation turbulence model (one equation for turbulence kinetic energy and a second
for a generic turbulence length-scale quantity) proposed by Umlauf and Burchard [J. Marine …

A completely new nonhydrostatic model system known as the Advanced Regional
Prediction System (ARPS) has been developed in recent years at the Center for Analysis …

In this paper, we investigate an original way to deal with the problems generated by the
limitation process of high-order finite volume methods based on polynomial reconstructions …
