Abstract
In developing methods for convective-scale data assimilation (DA), it
is necessary to consider the full range of motions governed by the
compressible Navier–Stokes equations (including non-hydrostatic and
ageostrophic flow). These equations describe motion on a wide range
of timescales with non-linear coupling. For the purpose of
developing new DA techniques that suit the convective-scale problem,
it is helpful to use so-called
A simplified system of intermediate complexity derived from the Euler equations is presented, which supports dispersive gravity and acoustic modes. In this system, the separation of timescales can be greatly reduced by changing the physical parameters. Unlike in existing toy models, this allows the acoustic modes to be treated explicitly and hence inexpensively. In addition, the non-linear coupling induced by the equation of state is simplified. This means that the gravity and acoustic modes are less coupled than in conventional models. A vertical slice formulation is used which contains only dry dynamics. The model is shown to give physically reasonable results, and convective behaviour is generated by localised compressible effects. This model provides an affordable and flexible framework within which some of the complex issues of convective-scale DA can later be investigated. The model is called the
toy modelsthat are easy to run and contain the same types of motion as the full equation set. Such a model needs to permit hydrostatic and geostrophic balance at large scales but allow imbalance at small scales, and in particular, it needs to exhibit intermittent convection-like behaviour. Existing
toy modelsare not always sufficient for investigating these issues.
