Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model
See Janjic, Gerrity,and Nickovic, 2001 for model equations, solution techniques & other test results [MWR,Vol. 29, 1164-1178]
Basic Characteristics
- Hybrid sigma-pressure vertical coordinate
- Arakawa E grid (in current tests)
- Adams-Bashforth time differencing
- Second order spatial differencing
- Similar physics packages to operational Eta
