Abstract
Abstract A radiative upper boundary condition is proposed for numerical mesoscale models which allows vertically propagating internal gravity waves to pass out of the computational domain with minimal reflection. In this formulation, the pressure along the upper boundary is determined from the Fourier transform of the vertical velocity at that boundary. This boundary condition can easily be incorporated in a wide variety of models and requires little additional computation. The radiation boundary condition is derived from the linear, hydrostatic, Boussinesq equations of motion, neglecting Coriolis effects. However, tests of this radiation boundary condition in the presence of nonhydrostatic, Coriolis, nonlinear and non-Boussinesq effects suggest that it would be effective in many mesoscale modeling applications.
