6 Rotational Effects
Fig. 6.9 Exercise 17. Same as Fig. 6.8, but after 24 h of simulation
number exceed unity in this application, so that the Earth’s rotation does not influ
ence the perturbations simulated here. It is worth mentioning that similar dynamics
will result with use of the shear fl w as initial condition rather than background
fl w. The reader is encouraged to verify the latter statement. A much larger model
domain would be required to avoid influence of the open and closed boundaries.
6.7.5 Sample Code and Animation Script
The folder “Exercise 17” on the CD-ROM contains the computer codes. The fil
“info.txt” contains additional information.
