The system of equations(conservation laws applied to individual parcels of air) (from E.Kalnay) • conservation of the 3-dimensional momentum (equations of motion), • conservation of dry air mass (continuity equation), • the equation of state for perfect gases, • conservation of energy (first law of thermodynamics), • equations for the conservation of moisture in all its phases. They include in their solution fast gravity and sound waves, and therefore in their space and time discretization they require the use of smaller time steps, or alternative techniques that slow them down. For models with a horizontal grid size larger than 10 km, it is customary to replace the vertical component of the equation of motion with its hydrostatic approximation, in which the vertical acceleration is neglected compared with gravitational acceleration (buoyancy). With this approximation, it is convenient to use atmospheric pressure, instead of height, as a vertical coordinate. V. Bjerknes (1904) pointed out for the first time that there is a complete set of 7 equations with 7 unknowns that governs the evolution of the atmosphere:

http://www.metoffice.com/research/nwp/numerical/unified_model/index.htmlhttp://www.metoffice.com/research/nwp/numerical/unified_model/index.html The Unified Model The Unified Model is the name given to the suite of atmospheric and oceanic numerical modelling software developed and used at the Met Office. The formulation of the model supports global and regional domains and is applicable to a wide range of temporal and spatial scales that allow it to be used for both numerical weather prediction and climate modelling as well as a variety of related research activities. The Unified Model was introduced into operational service in 1992. Since then, both its formulation and capabilities have been substantially enhanced. New DynamicsA major upgrade to the Met Office Global Numerical Weather Prediction model was implemented on 7th August 2002. SubmodelsThe Unified Model is made up of a number of numerical submodels representing different aspects of the earth's environment that influence the weather and climate. Like all coupled models the Unified Model can be split up in a number of different ways, with various submodel components switched on or off for a specific modelling application. The Portable Unified Model (PUM)A portable version of the Unified Model has also been developed suitable for running on workstations and other computer systems.
