Reading's Dynamical Modelling Hierarchy
A hierarchy of dynamical models of the global atmosphere has been developed at Reading since the 1970s, all using the spectral transform technique.
- Barotropic model.
- Shallow water model.
- Baroclinic primitive-equation model (IGCM), including
adiabatic, Newtonian-forcing, and moist parameterization versions.
- Eigenvalue solver for the baroclinic model.
- Linear stationary wave version of the baroclinic model.
- Diagnostics for the baroclinic model versions.
Our aim is to create portable versions of all these models: links will be added as models become available. A subset of the models/versions is freely available.
Please note that we are not able to support remote users of the dynamical models.
The codes are maintained using nupdate, a portable program-library editor.
