Summary of accomplishments and research on forward-in-time differencing for shallow fluid flows on the sphere. Final technical report

Description: This past year the authors have continued the development of their 3D grid point model. The general model is nonhydrostatic, is written in nonorthogonal terrain following coordinates, and consistently incorporates either Eulerian or semi-Lagrangian differencing. The non-hydrostatic formulation will be particularly useful when the grid size is small enough to resolve nonhydrostatic processes--for example: convective instabilities, and internal gravity wave dynamics in deep sheared atmospheres.

Planar interfaces: Synthesis and high resolution chemistry and structure analysis. Progress report, March 1, 1997--February 28, 1998

Description: The interface synthesis unit is operational and working well. The authors have synthesized interfaces between substrates of austenitic stainless steel, silicon, silicon/niobium, and alumina with and without addition of other materials in the interfaces. Early in the synthesis work it was apparent that substrate surface preparation was critical, along with the usual variables: temperature, time, and pressure. After suitable surface preparation successful interfaces were bonded. Substrate surface… more

Diagnostic modeling of the ARM experimental configuration. Final report

Description: A major accomplishment of this work was to demonstrate the viability of using in-situ data in both mid-continent North America (SGP CART site) and Tropical Western Pacific (TOGA-COARE) locations to provide the horizontal advective flux convergences which force and constrain the Single-Column Model (SCM) which was the main theoretical tool of this work. The author has used TOGA-COARE as a prototype for the ARM TWP site. Results show that SCMs can produce realistic budgets over the ARM sites with… more
