Abstract

Abstract A semi‐implicit barotropic primitive equations model is integrated over a limited area with time dependent boundary conditions using the standard mesh and a finer mesh. Following a theorem by Charney, a minimum number of variables are specified as boundary conditions for the limited area integrations in order to avoid mathematical over‐specification. The comparison of coarse mesh limited area forecasts with the corresponding forecasts made over a much larger domain demonstrates that the essential features, namely the Rossby type perturbations, are handled almost perfectly. The fine mesh forecasts over the same limited area are also very good. Finally, the effect of specifying inaccurate boundary conditions, in the form of twelve‐hour forecasts, is briefly illustrated.
