1) Icosahedral + FV approach provides conservation.2) Icos quasi-uniform grid is free of pole problems.3) Legendre polynomials become inefficient at high resol.4) Spectral models require global communication which is
inefficient on MPP with distributed memory.5) Spectral models tend to generate noisy tracer transport.
Since Icosahedral models are based on a local numerical scheme, they are free of above problems 3 – 5.

N=(m**2)*10 + 2 “m” is any integer ratio between arc(AB~8000 km) and target resolution. e.g., for dx~20 km, then m=8000/20=400N=(400**2)*10+2~1.6 million points.

Lagrangian vertical coordinate:Pros and Cons
(“Lagrangian” = isentropic in atmospheric applications)
Major Pros:• No uncontrolled diabatic
mixing (in the vertical and horizontal)
• Numerical dispersion errors associated with vertical transport are minimized
• Optimal finite-difference representation of frontal zones & frontogenesis
Major Cons:• Coordinate-ground
intersections are inevitable (atmosphere doesn’t fit snugly into x,y, grid box)
• Poor vertical resolution in weakly stratified regions
• Elaborate transport operators needed to achieve conservation
![Page 46: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Major Cons:• Coordinate-ground
intersections are inevitable (atmosphere doesn’t fit snugly into x,y, grid box)
• Poor vertical resolution in weakly stratified regions
Fixes:• Reassign grid points from
underground portion of x,y, grid box to above-ground “s” surfaces
• Low stratification => large portion of x,y, grid box is underground => no shortage of grid points available for re-deployment as s points
=> A “hybrid” grid appears to have distinct advantages – both from a grid-economy and a vertical resolution perspective
![Page 48: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
"Hybrid" means different things to different people:
- linear combination of 2 or more conventional coordinates (examples: p+sigma,p+theta+sigma)
- ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) coordinate
ALE maximizes size of isentropic subdomain.
![Page 49: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
ALE: “Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian” coordinate
• Original concept (Hirt et al., 1974): maintain Lagrangian character of coordinate but “re-grid” intermittently to keep grid points from fusing.
• In RUC, FIM, and HYCOM, we apply ALE in the vertical only and re-grid for 2 reasons:
– (1) to maintain minimum layer thickness;
– (2) to nudge an entropy-related thermodynamic variable toward a prescribed layer-specific “target” value by importing mass from above or below.
• Process (2) renders the grid quasi-isentropic
![Page 50: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Main design element of layer models: Height (alias layer thickness) is treated as dependent variable.
needed: a new independent variable capable of representing 3rd (vertical) model dimension. Call this variable “s”.
Having increased the number of unknowns by 1 (layer thickness), we need 1 additional equation. The logical choice is an equation linking “s” to other variables.
popular example: s = potential temperature
Hence ….
![Page 51: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Principal design element of isentropic models: Height and (potential) temperature trade places as dependent / independent variables
- same number of unknowns, same number of (prognostic) equations,
but very different numerical properties
Driving force for isentropic model development: genetic diversity

Compute diagnostic variables from prognostic variables
Solution order in FIM
Shallow-water 2-D transport of u,v,p,T,q, other tracers(Intermediate prognostic variables are used in subsequent Physics)
Physics (determine *, p* and source/sink tendencies)
Vertical regridding and remapping of prognostic variablesbased on (*, p* ). This includes “vertical transport” which is applied to all prognostic variables at same time toachieve conservation in an environment of changing p*

• A finite-volume icosahedral hybrid model has been developed. This model is free of pole problems and
(I) yields stable solutions without dissipation,
(II) maintains monotonicity and positive-definiteness with mass conservation,
(III) successfully combines a hybrid coordinate with a finite volume icosahedral shallow-water model.
(Iv) presently uses a simple GFS-like cloud removal scheme
Future Work• Incorporate full GFS with EMC numerical framework.
• Real data tests of FIM with GFS physics at end of FY06.
• Continue partnership between NCEP/EMC and ESRL/GSD.
Final Remarks
![Page 214: Development and testing of a global forecast model … configured on a horizontally icosahedral, vertically quasi-material (“flow-following”) grid](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681683f550346895dde0e61/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
Implementation of GFS physics1. The first-order non-local turbulence and surface-
layer scheme
2. The 4-layer Noah soil model with Zobler soil type
3. The simple cloud scheme plus simplified Arakawa-Schubert convective scheme
4. The Chou SW, RRTM LW schemes interacting with diagnosed cloud water and RH clouds
(Using the GFS initial condition and static fields including Reynolds SST , NESDIS snow cover, USAF snow depth, NESDIS ice analysis , GCIP vegetation type, NESDIS vegetation fraction)
