Effects of resolution on the relative importance of numerical and physical horizontal diffusion in atmospheric composition modelling
Numerical diffusion induced by advection has a large influence on concentration of substances in atmospheric composition models. At coarse resolution numerical effects dominate, whereas at increasing model resolution a description of physical diffusion is needed. A method to investigate the effects...
