Abstract
Vertical smoothing of the initial height fields proved to be a crucial step in obtaining 24 hr forecasts using the 10‐level primitive equation model (Bushby and Timpson 1967) on any set of data : the particular operator used and the effects on the forecast fields are described. The latent heat effect is examined quantitatively by comparing two 24 hr forecasts, one of which included and the other excluded the contribution of the latent heat of condensation. The forecast fields obtained when a larger grid length is used, in conjunction with an appropriately lengthened time‐step, are compared with forecasts obtained from the basic grid length and time‐step and the implications arising from the increase of scale are discussed.
