Description:"The use of baroclinic primitive equation prediction models in numerical weather prediction and general circulation studies began nearly 20 years ago and has become quite widespread. Most of the models have used pressure normalized by surface pressure as the vertical coordinate (Phillips, 1957). In this formulation, the lowest coordinate surface (pressure at the model terrain level) and the uppermost coordinate surface (usually corresponding to p=O) are material surfaces: i.e., no exchange of substance is permitted across the surface"--Introduction.
