Common questions

How to calculate LAM resolution?

Take LAM radius and divide it by the nbp icosahedral division factor. For example, this Antartica configuation:

radius = 3360
nbp = 32

corresponds to a 105 km grid size (radius [km] / nbp = 3360 [km] / 32 = 105 [km])

How to select dissipation parameters?

These three parameters should be adjusted in accordance to the LAM resolution. Selecting them is a matter of trail and error, so that's why you can use proposed values:

resolution [km] tau_graddiv tau_gradrot tau_divgrad
