¥LANS-a produces turbulence statistics that resemble doubled-resolution simulations without LANS-a in:
§Kinetic
energy
§Eddy
kinetic energy
§Temperature
distributions associate with baroclinic instability
¥LANS-a increases computation
time by 30%, as opposed to a factor of 8-10 to double the resolution.
¥Current work: simulations using LANS-alpha in
realistic domains, such as the North Atlantic domain.
