  • To Appear in Monthly Weather Review AN UPPER GRAVITY-WAVE ABSORBING LAYER FOR NWP APPLICATIONS
    2015
    Co-Authors: J. B. Klemp, J. Dudhia, A. D. Hassiotis
    Abstract:

    Although the use of a Damping layer near the top of a computational model domain has proven effective in absorbing upward-proagating gravity-wave energy in idealized simulations, this technique has been less successful in real atmospheric applications. Here, a new technique is proposed for nonhydrostatic model equations that are solved using split-explicit time integration techniques. In this method, an implicit Rayleigh Damping Term is applied only to the vertical velocity, as a final adjustment at the end of each small (acoustic) time step. The adjustment is equivalent to including an implicit Rayleigh Damping Term in the vertical momentum equation together with an implicit vertical diffusion of w, and could be applied in this manner in other time integration schemes. This implicit Damping for the vertical velocity is unconditionally stable and remains effective even for hydrostatic gravity waves. The good absorption characteristics of this layer across a wide range of horizontal scales are confirmed though analysis of the linear wave equation and numerical mountain-wave simulations, and through simulations of an idealized squall line and of mountain waves over the Colorado Rocky Mountains. 1
