Fiebig-Wittmaack Biología discretization errors Global tracer transport model tropopause discontinuity jumps finite differences discretization scheme We study the accuracy of the finite differences discretization scheme for a 2-D simplified model of globaltracer transport, in the case that the diffusion coefficients relating flux to the gradient of the mixing ratio havediscontinuity jumps at the tropopause. We analyze the conventional box method for a typical downward flowwith chemical reaction and for a typical upward flow, comparing the approximations of the solutions, fordifferent discretization gridsizes. It turns out that the jumps may introduce remarkable errors in the discretesolutions, in the case of a typical downward flow; these errors propagate mainly into the troposphere. Anoticeable improvement is achieved by reducing the gridsize. However, a typical upward flow is ratherinsensitive to the chosen gridsizes. 2005 artículo científico 0187-6236 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56518302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=565 Atmósfera application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Atmósfera (México) Num.3 Vol.18 |
