Baroclinic wave experiment by Polvani et al. (2004)

Model

• dcpam5-20150804

But, a compile option, -DSLTT2D1DMONOTONIC, is used.

Setting and results

Common settings

• See Polvani et al. (2004) for details.
• Mixing ratio of a passive tracer at initial condition is 0 and 1 at northward and southward of 45 degrees N, respectively.
  • The passive tracer distribution is not calculated by Polveni et al. (2004).
• Integration period: 12 days
