Presentation of Jozef Vivoda during the 2nd AROME training course, Lisbon, 4-7 March 2008 : "How to run NH kernel ?
(namelist variables, etc.)" by Jozef Vivoda with materials from Ján Mašek, Filip Váňa, Miklos Vőrős and Yann Seity
The aim of the presentation is to explain how to run NH model kernel, what choices are possible when running NH dynamics and explain basic concepts behind this choices.

- Conclusion
- We know how to:
- Prepare initial files and LBCs
- To turn on/off NH dynamics
- To use correct discretization
- To set up diffusion for NH kernel
- To treat BBC in NH model
- To turn on/off coupling and bi-periodization
- To set up correctly time stepping procedure
- We do not know:
- under which conditions to turn on/off NH dynamics in 3D real case
- when exactly SI scheme is sufficient and when ICI scheme
with at least one iteration shall be activated - if further development shall be based on LGWADV approach or not
- We know how to:
-
- Challenges for future NH development
- VFE discretization in NH kernel
- deeper evaluation of NH code and DYN/PHYS interface
- 3D testing
- enhancement of LGWADV to LSETTLS
- usage of w tendencies in physics and from physics
- Challenges for future NH development
