Abstract :
The spectral element method offers distinct advantages for geophysical simulations, including geometric flexibility, accuracy and scalability. Developers of atmospheric and oceanic models are capitalizing on these properties to create new models that can accurately and effectively simulate multi-scale flows in complex geometries.
