What is CM1?

In scientific terms: CM1 is a three-dimensional, non-hydrostatic, non-linear, time-dependent numerical model designed for idealized studies of atmospheric phenomena.

In non-scientific terms: CM1 is a computer program used for atmospheric research. It is designed for studies of relatively small-scale processes in the Earth's atmosphere, such as thunderstorms.

Testing and evaluation of CM1

Here are reports on some basic tests of the accuracy and capability of CM1. (Note: all of these tests have been completed, but I haven't had time to write up the results. I plan to have all of these posted online in the near future.)

  • Gravity current
  • Inertia-gravity waves
  • Two-dimensional mountain waves
  • Potential flow over a mountain in dry and moist environments
  • Bryan-Fritsch moist benchmark
  • Large eddy simulation of the convective boundary layer
  • A comparison of axisymmetric and three-dimensional simulations of a tropical cyclone
