Table 2-5 Table 2-5: Filtering, smoothing, and filling. The table lists the instances of application of time filtering, spatial filtering/smoothing of model atmosphere and orography, or filling of spurious negative values of atmospheric moisture. (For orography, only smoothing procedures more complex than the area-averaging of orographic heights over model grid boxes and/or the truncation of spectral representations of orography at grid resolution are tracked here. The use of enhanced orography is also noted as appropriate.) Hyperlinks connect to the summary report for each AMIP model version.
