3-Grid Point: Data RepresentationGrid point models actually represent the atmosphere in three-dimensional grid cubes, suchas the one shown above. The temperature, pressure, and moisture (T, p, and q), shown inthe center of the cube, represent the average conditions throughout the cube. Likewise,the east-west winds (u) and the north-south winds (v), located at the sides of the cube,represent the average of the wind components between the center of this cube and theadjacent cubes. Similarly, the vertical motion (w) is represented on the upper and lowerfaces of the cube.This arrangement of variables within and around the grid cube (called a staggered grid)has advantages when calculating derivatives. It is also physically intuitive; averagethermodynamic properties inside the grid cube are represented at the center, while thewinds on the faces are associated with fluxes into and out of the cube.
4-Grid Point Models As discussed earlier, grid point models must use finite differencetechniques to solve the forecast equations. In the simplified moistureforecast equation shown below, time changes in moisture at the centerof a grid cube are caused by moisture advection across the cube. This, inturn, depends upon the changes in the moisture between the adjacentcubes and the average wind over the grid cube. The cube drawinggraphically illustrates the conceptual moisture equation shown at thebottom.
