Journal ArticleDOI
A new dynamical core for the Met Office's global and regional modelling of the atmosphere
Trevor Davies,M. J. P. Cullen,A. J. Malcolm,M. H. Mawson,Andrew Staniforth,A. A. White,Nigel Wood +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a computational scheme suitable for numerical weather prediction and climate modelling over a wide range of length scales is described, which is non-hydrostatic and fully compressible, and shallow atmosphere approximations are not made.
Journal ArticleDOI
The HadGEM2-ES implementation of CMIP5 centennial simulations
Chris D. Jones,J. Hughes,Nicolas Bellouin,Steven C. Hardiman,Gareth S. Jones,Jeff Knight,Spencer Liddicoat,Fiona M. O'Connor,Robert J. Andres,Christopher J Bell,Christopher J Bell,Kyung-On Boo,Alessio Bozzo,N. Butchart,Patricia Cadule,K. D. Corbin,K. D. Corbin,M. Doutriaux-Boucher,Pierre Friedlingstein,Jemma Gornall,Lesley J. Gray,Paul R. Halloran,George C. Hurtt,George C. Hurtt,William Ingram,William Ingram,Jean-Francois Lamarque,Rachel M. Law,Malte Meinshausen,Scott Osprey,Erika J. Palin,L. Parsons Chini,Thomas Raddatz,Michael G. Sanderson,Alistair Sellar,Andrew Schurer,Paul J. Valdes,Nigel Wood,S. Woodward,M. Yoshioka,M. Zerroukat +40 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the climate forcings and setup of the Met Office Hadley Centre ESM, HadGEM2-ES for the CMIP5 set of centennial experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inherently mass‐conserving semi‐implicit semi‐Lagrangian discretization of the deep‐atmosphere global non‐hydrostatic equations
Nigel Wood,Andrew Staniforth,A. A. White,T. Allen,Michail Diamantakis,Markus Gross,Thomas Melvin,Chris Smith,Simon Vosper,M. Zerroukat,John Thuburn +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mass-conserving semi-implicit (SI) semi-Lagrangian (SL) discretization of the 2D shallow-water equations and 2D vertical slice equations is extended to the 3D deep-atmosphere, non-hydrostatic global equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new parametrization of turbulent orographic form drag
TL;DR: Brown et al. as discussed by the authors presented a new parametrization for the representation in large-scale models of turbulent form drag due to subgrid orography with horizontal scales smaller than around 5000 m. The scheme is based on earlier work in which surface stress and its vertical distribution is formulated in terms of a slope parameter for sinusoidal hills.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unified model, a fully-compressible, non-hydrostatic, deep atmosphere global circulation model, applied to hot Jupiters - ENDGame for a HD 209458b test case
Nathan J. Mayne,Isabelle Baraffe,David M. Acreman,Chris Smith,Matthew K. Browning,David S. Amundsen,Nigel Wood,John Thuburn,David Jackson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the successful adaptation of the most sophisticated dynamical core, the component of the GCM which solves the equations of motion for the atmosphere, available within the EndGame (Even Newer Dynamics for General atmospheric modelling of the environment).
