The Simplest QTCM

The simplest QTCM, referred to as QTCM1.0, occurs when we carry only a single temperature basis function typical of deep convection effects. Two leading basis functions are carried for the velocity field: tex2html_wrap_inline1975 for the barotropic mode and tex2html_wrap_inline1973 given by (gif) for the baroclinic mode associated with tex2html_wrap_inline1573 variations. Projecting on these gives equations that need be solved only in (x,y) for tex2html_wrap_inline1983 and tex2html_wrap_inline1985 .
