A numerical model of atmospheric general circulation on the tropical beta-plane based on the Gill 1980 paper. It is the solution to the problem #3 of the GFD final exam at Columbia University in 2008.
Git-clone the Matlab codes:
git clone git@github.com:wy2136/GillModel.git
Open Matlab and run the model:
run
- Symmetric Heating
- Asymmetric Heating
- Symmetric + Asymmetric Heating
- Kelvin Wave
- Free Wave Propogation of Gaussian-shape Initial Condition
- Matsuno Heating
- Symmetric Heating with Gaussian shape in zonal direction
- Delta Heating at y=1
