Shallow-water TLM, beta-plane periodic-xy 32x24 (T42-equivalent)
DISADVANTAGES1 · dim 2304A baseline wins. At the comparison noise level, the best baseline beats SolvSRK by at least 10 percentage points of survival, or by at least 0.05 balanced score when survival is tied. Use the winning baseline named on the problem page - not SolvSRK. All verdicts →
Same model as swe_tlm_channel_t21 at higher resolution: periodic-xy 32x24 beta-plane torus. Williamson 1992 Test 5 surrogate for T42 (Lane 3 verdict GREEN; spread <= 67, lambda_min unchanged at 2.43e-5 rad/s -- physical Rossby is set by planet geometry, not mesh). 1-hour 4D-Var window.
