H is the terrain height, allowing the equivalent barotropic model to represent orographic forcing in a crude way. This makes the equivalent barotropic model the most popular barotropic model for real data numerical forecasts.
occurs in regions of strong convergence such as in tropical systems as well as with thunderstorm processes such as outflow boundaries. DYNAMIC FORCING occurs due to air convergence, as with a front or low pressure system's inflow. OROGRAPHIC FORCING ...
