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 …

We derive a formulation of the spectral element method which is compatible on very general
unstructured three-dimensional grids. Here compatible means that the method retains …

Substantial improvements are required in the current suite of numerical models if we are to
better understand the present ocean biogeochemical state and predict potential future …

A new approach to climate simulation uses geodesic grids generated from an icosahedron
and could become on attractive alternative to current models. We implemented an …

Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During
the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) …

As part of the US GLOBEC NE Pacific program, we are simulating currents in the Coastal
Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) to explore sources of interannual and interdecadal variability. To do …

A Comparison of Two Shallow-Water Models with Nonconforming Adaptive Grids in:
Monthly Weather Review Volume 136 Issue 6 (2008) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Topographic steering of waves and currents is one of the most important issues of the
general ocean circulation. Its representation in ocean models depends on the spatial …

General Circulation Models (GCMs) are rapidly assuming widespread use as powerful tools
for predicting global events on time scales of months to decades, such as the onset of EL …

Prolate spheroidal functions of order zero are generalizations of Legendre polynomials
which, when the “bandwidth parameter” c> 0, oscillate more uniformly on x∈[− 1, 1] than …
