Description:Large scale vertical motions are computed using a 7-level diagnostic model in which the streamfunction and contours are related through the balance equation. The model with grid-point spacing of about 205 km is designed primarily for synoptic-scale studies over the subtropical ocean and island areas where moisture is relatively abundant. Consequently, an idealized moisture supply, driven by surface frictional convergence, releases latent heat which is partitioned in the vertical in a modified Kuo fashion. This model has been applied to a late season, strong, cold low; an easterly wave deepening into a closed system, and, to a weakening easterly low.
