A spectral method for performing this process uses a set of equations written in terms of spherical harmonics that truncates at a wavenumber of 799.
A spectral method for performing this process uses a set of equations written in terms of spherical harmonics that truncates at a wavenumber of 799. The results of multiple iterations of models used to perform this task can be visualized using a spaghetti plot. A dimensionless parameter called the Exner function can be used to simplify a set of equations governing this process. Numerical models used to perform this task may make use of a vertical coordinate system which is normalized by the surface pressure known as (*) sigma coordinates. The results of this process are usually displayed on prognostic charts. Data is collected for use in this task by radiosondes which are carried by balloons. Modern methods of performing this task locate precipitation using the Doppler effect. For 10 points, name this task performed by meteorologists.
