Dynamics;HYD, hydrostatic; NON, nonhydrostatic. Horizontal grid types; MER, Mercator (latitude-longitude); PS, polar stereographic; LC, Lambert conformal. Convection scheme; AS, Arakawa and Schubert [1974]; Grell [1993] and Grell et al. [1993]; MF, mass flux scheme following Tiedtke [1989]; CA, convective adjustment; KA, Kuo [1974]. Lateral BC: weighting function used blending large-scale and internal tendencies (LIN, linear decrease toward center of domain; EXP, exponential decrease; PAR, parabolic decrease) and number of grid points in the blending region.
