Estimation of energy dissipation caused by odd order difference schemes for an unstable planetary boundary layer

Abstract Numerical error by an odd order difference approximation in the advection term dissipates energy in the resolved motion. We propose a method to estimate the energy dissipation rate derived from the numerical error to clarify its effect on the energy budget. The energy dissipation rate in La...
