The following definitions of the ``paper variables'' are given in Neelin and Zeng [1] and Zeng et al. [2]. We present them here as an aid in interpreting the above variable keys.
Parameter definitions:
where is the gross moist stability, and
is the dry static
energy. Recall that a
term has been absorbed into
T and that L is
subsumed in the
terms in the
Neelin and Zeng [1] and Zeng et al.
[2] equations.
Temperature, moisture, and momentum variable definitions:
Recall that the vertical averaging operator is defined as follows in Neelin and Zeng [1]:
Below are alternative (but equivalent) expressions for a few of the code variables given in the tables in Section 3.4.2:
Some final notes: is the depth of the troposphere (in
pressure units), and g is the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's
surface.
