improve the semi-Lagrangian scheme withregard to
-- conservation properties-- preservation of shape
-- reduction of error -- reduction of non-physical oscillations
MotivationMotivation
For the complete chain of precipitation forecast at DWD holds: what you have lost globally (GME-GME2LM)
remains lost locally (LM)
therefore
DWD has reported that there is an obvious defect of mass in the GME , indication to insufficient accuracy
specific humidity, specific cloud liquid water content, specific cloud ice content, ozone mixing ratio

AlgorithmAlgorithm
A Semi-Lagrangian integrated-mass transport algorithm based on the integro-differential form of the continuity equation has been developed for the icosahedral grid

Hermitian interpolation of mass on each triangular cell, satisfying1. conservation of mass2. Invariance of variation of mass at two edges3. Interpolation of transported quantity to the 3 corner points

AlgorithmAlgorithm
on each triangle the transported quantity is represented as a second order polynomial in the local isothermal coordinates:

equations for the coefficients are solved by LU decomposition
Key steps: 1. approximation of departure points (previous time
level)2. intersection of icosahedral mesh and departure
mesh3. integrate mass, variation of mass (previous time
level) on polygons of intersection or departure edges respectively

Experiments/ResultsExperiments/Results
Several different constant wind fields
Rotation of reversed cosine-bell, different rotation angles, loop across pole and equator
Advection of cosine-bell in a meridional wind-field with div != 0
Both test cases are similar to Williamson‘s test case 1
Tests for ni = 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96

Initial state reached again after 12 days, ni = 48, dt = 540s, global error after 30 days

Currently doing Currently doing
- implementation of the new scheme, developed within sequential SWE code using the GME mesh, into parallel GME 2.10 (almost production code)
- systematic comparison by means of realistic test cases(benefit vs. numerical cost)

Future work Future work
- implementation of new scheme into GME- systematic comparison (benefit vs. numerical cost)
- develop conservative interpolation for transfer GME2LM
- adapt scheme for the LM (implementation, evaluation, …)
what you have lost globally (GME-GME2LM) remains lost locally (LM)
then the complete chain has improved conservation properties whichalso hold for low resolutions, especially for the climate verion of GME
