INTEGRATION OF THE NONDIVERGENT BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQUATION WITH AN ICOSAHEDRAL-HEXAGONAL GRID FOR THE SPHERE<sup>1</sup>

A finite difference scheme is developed for numerical integration of the nondivergent barotropic vorticity equation with an icosahedral-hexagonal grid covering the sphere. The grid is made by dividing the 20 triangular faces of an icosahedron into smaller triangles, the vertices of which are the grid points. Each grid point is …
