It is shown to eliminate components with frequencies higher than a specified cut-off value. Thus it is valuable for integrations of the equations governing atmospheric flow. The scheme is implemented in a shallow water model with an Eulerian treatment of advection. It is compared to a reference model using the semi-implicit (SI) scheme. The LT scheme is shown to treat dynamically important Kelvin waves more accurately than the SI scheme.172624 bytesapplication/pdfenNumerical weather predictionTime integrationFilteringNumerical weather forecastingLaplace transformationFilters (Mathematics)Laplace transform integration of the shallow-water equations.
