Zusammenfassung |
It is the purpose of this paper to document the NCAR global model topography
generation software for unstructured grids (NCAR_Topo (v1.0)). Given a model
grid, the software computes the fraction of the grid box covered by land, the
grid-box mean elevation (deviation from a geoid that defines nominal sea
level surface), and associated sub-grid-scale variances commonly used for
gravity wave and turbulent mountain stress parameterizations. The software
supports regular latitude–longitude grids as well as unstructured grids,
e.g., icosahedral, Voronoi, cubed-sphere and variable-resolution grids. |
