Abstract
A three‐time‐level semi‐Lagrangian global spectral model was introduced operationally at the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts in 1991. This paper first documents some later refinements to the three‐time‐level scheme, and then describes its conversion to a two‐time‐level scheme. Experimental results are presented to show that the two‐time‐level scheme maintains the accuracy of its three‐time‐level predecessor, while being considerably more computationally efficient.

## Abstract The accuracy of the two‐time‐level semi‐Lagrangian semi‐implicit time integration scheme is analysed. Two relatively independent problems are identified–the discretization of the implicit trajectory equation and the treatment of the nonlinear residual. Two theorems giving conditions for
## Abstract A new treatment of the two‐time‐level semi‐Lagrangian scheme is presented which avoids extrapolation in time of the velocities used for the computation of the trajectories and for the nonlinear terms of the evolution equations. Extrapolation in time is used in the original two‐time‐lev
## Abstract In this paper, we provide a systematic derivation of regularized equations for a non‐hydrostatic and compressible vertical‐slice model of the dry atmosphere. The derivation is based on an analysis of a semi‐implicit discretization of the equations of motion and a recent regularized form
