In atmospheric modelling the dynamics typically is the
equation
set without the forcing terms due to the
parametrized physical processes. These are the equations of
motion, the conservation of mass or continuity equation, an energy
equation and an equation of state i.e. six equations for the three
wind components, temperature, pressure and density. The
equations of motion include Coriolis terms due to rotation of the
earth.
The Met Office has recently introduced a model with a completely
new dynamical formulation. Details of the new model may be found
in the
June 2002 edition of NWP Gazette and a
factsheet has also been produced. |
