SE1

Gravity wave tests

• Modify topography shape

• Vary the Coriolis force and Brunt-Vaisala frequency

• Examine waves as they encounter the tropopause 

• Marnee: Run a sponge layer experiment by removing the Rayleigh friction and increasing the number of vertical levels in the SE dycore. 

Vortex street tests

• Modify test case parameters (wind speed, mountain shape, mountain height, etc.) to explore the frequency of vortex shedding

  • Change 

• characterize 2D vs. 3D flow regimes.

Gap flow tests

• Examine small Froude numbers.  

• Generate upstream flow reversals by increasing the mountain height.
