  1. Splitting Supercell Idealized Simulation Diff_6th_opt Presented By: Jeff Curtis, Jason Keeler, and Cody Fritz S. Nesbitt – ATMS 597

  2. Objective • To track a simulated mesocyclone and assess the contribution of the terms in the vorticity tendency equation. • To change the 6th-order numerical diffusion option to 1 and compare to control simulation.

  3. Outline • Brief background on numerical diffusion option. • Track of vorticity maximum. • Comparison of vorticity maximum at 1.5km (video available) • Comparison of average vorticity between 0-3km.. • Comparison of reflectivity (dBZ) (video available). • Difference plots for Stretching, tilting, and solenoid terms.

  4. Background • The 6th-order horizontal diffusion acts as a short-wave numerical noise filter (Chapter 5 – WRF Users Guide). • 3 options are available: • 0 = no 6th-order numerical diffusion • 1 = 6th-order numerical diffusion • 2 = 6th-order numerical diffusion but with the prohibiting of up-gradient diffusion
