In Table 3 of Durran and Blossey (2012), the values of Lx, Lz, and ψ0 for the nonhydrostatic case were in error. The table has been reproduced in its entirety here with the correct values.
Physical and numerical parameters for the nonlinear simulations.
In addition, the bottom panel of Fig. 9 showed the results of a simulation using different parameter values than those in the table. The correct figure is shown below.
Contours of the horizontal velocity at t = td in the central portion of the domain for (a) case NH and (b) case H. Gray shades show contours of ψ with steps in the grayscale at ±5 and ±15 m2 s−2 in case NH and ±1 m2 s−2 in case H.
