Comparison of balanced solver with variable and constant f


The systems were identical in every other way. 3 inner GCR loops, ADI preconditioner (mu = -10^-8) with 4 steps, no mass weighting.



Left: Variable f, Right: Constant f = 1.0312 *10^-4 (appropriate to 45 N).
Top: RHS PV at Greenwich meridian, Bottom: balanced streamfunction output from solver.
