This is a sepctral model with shallow water dynamic core, this model was developed by GFDL Some test cases (Williamson, 1992) was added into the code by Zhou Lilong, including: test case 2 : Global Steady State Nonlinear onal Geostrophic Flow test case 5 : Zonal Flow Over an Isolated Mountain test case 6 : Rossby-Haurwitz Wave Where to start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Documentation of these models can be found here: http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/idealized-spectral-models-quickstart Summary of directory contents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bin/ -- mkmf script for creating Makefiles -- template files for the mkmf script -- list_paths generates a list of source code files using find -- time_stamp.csh used by run script barotropic/ -- compile script.
