The test case enhances the complexity of the existing test suite hierarchy and focuses on the impacts of two midlatitudinal mountain ridges on the circulation.
The latter utilizes the Kessler warm-rain precipitation scheme. Both dry and idealized moist configurations are suggested. The topography is analytically prescribed and acts as a trigger of both baroclinic Rossby waves and inertia-gravity waves on a rotating, regular-size planet. A new test case is introduced which is built upon a baroclinically-unstable base state with an added orographic barrier. Idealized test cases for the dynamical cores of Atmospheric General Circulation Models are informative tools to assess the accuracy of the numerical designs and to investigate the general characteristics of atmospheric motions.
