A mixed finite-element, finite-volume, semi-implicit discretisation for atmospheric dynamics: Spherical geometry
Thomas Melvin, Ben Shipway, Nigel Wood +11
The reformulation of the Met Office's dynamical core for weather and climate prediction previously described by the authors is extended to spherical domains using a cubed-sphere me…
The Acceleration of Superrotation in Simulated Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
Florian Debras, Nathan Mayne, Isabelle Baraffe +5
Context. Atmospheric superrotating flows at the equator are an almost ubiquitous result of simulations of hot Jupiters, and a theory explaining how this zonally coherent flow reach…
Eigenvectors, Circulation and Linear Instabilities for Planetary Science in 3 Dimensions (ECLIPS3D)
Florian Debras, Nathan Mayne, Isabelle Baraffe +2
Context. The study of linear waves and instabilities is necessary to understand the physical evolution of an atmosphere, and can provide physical interpretation of the complex flow…
Results from a set of three-dimensional numerical experiments of a hot Jupiter atmosphere
N. J. Mayne, F. Debras, I. Baraffe +7
We present highlights from a large set of simulations of a hot Jupiter atmosphere, nominally based on HD 209458b, aimed at exploring both the evolution of the deep atmosphere, and…
A primal-dual mimetic finite element scheme for the rotating shallow water equations on polygonal spherical meshes
John Thuburn, Colin J. Cotter
A new numerical method is presented for solving the rotating shallow water equations on a rotating sphere using quasi-uniform polygonal meshes. The method uses special families of…
The UM, a fully--compressible, non--hydrostatic, deep atmosphere GCM, applied to hot Jupiters
N. J. Mayne, I. Baraffe, David M. Acreman +6
We are adapting the Global Circulation Model (GCM) of the UK Met Office, the so--called Unified Model (UM), for the study of hot Jupiters. In this work we demonstrate the successfu…
Using the UM dynamical cores to reproduce idealised 3D flows
N. J. Mayne, I. Baraffe, David M. Acreman +5
We demonstrate that both the current (New Dynamics), and next generation (ENDGame) dynamical cores of the UK Met Office global circulation model, the UM, reproduce consistently, th…
A finite element exterior calculus framework for the rotating shallow-water equations
C. J. Cotter, J. Thuburn
We describe discretisations of the shallow water equations on the sphere using the framework of finite element exterior calculus, which are extensions of the mimetic finite differe…
