Sawyer, solved the Navier–Stokes equations of fluid motion, and the thermodynamic, heat transfer and continuity equations, in their primitive forms, obviating the need for the geostrophic assumption. It was implemented in 1972, first in the Octagon model, with a 300 km grid length at 60oN and was run
