Abstract
The calculation scheme of the smoothed-level and hybrid (SLEVE-hybrid for short) coordinates in numerical forecasting model is not limited in number. It is divided into the semi-analytical scheme and the finite differential scheme in terms of the various differential methods of the coordinate deformation variables. Having compared the dynamic equation and the long-time batch simulation results of the two schemes, the present study draws the following conclusions. The first-order finite difference accuracy of the coordinate deformation variables in the finite differential scheme is theoretically lower than that in the semi-analytical scheme. The larger the vertical gradient of the layer thickness is, the larger the relative errors of the finite differential scheme are. The long-time batch simulation test in the GRAPES model dynamic core demonstrates that the bias of the temperature and the geopotential height in the semi-analytical scheme is smaller under the default layering, while the simulation difference of the two schemes is greatly reduced when the layering is more uniform.
