Description:The Machenhauer non-linear initialization method as implemented at NMC is shown to contain theoretical inconsistencies that probably explain some of the convergence problems and restrictions that NMC has encountered. The general remedy is to follow the Baer approach by (a) first setting all fast mode amplitudes to zero and then (b) doing only one Machenhauer iteration. Two exceptions to this prescription occur with intense orographic uplift and with intense release of latent heat. In these cases, the large vertical velocities found in gravity waves will be needed to get the correct starting field in step (a).
