C.b. Finite differential equations of the 1D model, Simulation setup and results
|
Space differencing is evaluated by the second-order centered
scheme. Time integration is performed by the forward scheme for the
radiative heating term and the Crank-Nicolson scheme for the diffusion
term. Detailed descriptions for the finite difference form of the
radiative transfer equation and the vertical diffusion term are the
same as those stated in Appendices B.d and
B.e..
The arrangement of the vertical grid and its interval are the same as
those of the 2D model (Section 2.b).
The time step is 30 sec. The
solar flux at the top of the model atmosphere diurnally changes under
the condition of Ls = 100° at 20°N. The initial atmospheric and
ground surface temperature is constant (220 K and 210 K,
respectively). The numerical integration time is 30 days.
Vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and ground temperature at
6:00 LT are shown in Figure C1
and Figure C2, respectively. These profiles
are used for the initial conditions of the 2D model simulation
(Section 2.b). Even if the initial
atmospheric temperature is 160 K, the results are similar to that
obtained in the case with an initial atmospheric temperature of 220 K
(Figure C3, Figure C4).
The diurnal changes of atmospheric temperature and ground temperature
at day 30 are shown in Figure C5
and Figure C6, respectively.
