Abstract
This paper introduces a new consistent dissipation operator. It is based on the explicit square conservation scheme and the theory of consistent dissipation. The operator makes full use of the advantages of the Leap-frog scheme, i.e., its second order time precision and its explicit solution manner. Meanwhile, it overcomes the fatal disadvantage, the absolute instability in computations, of the scheme. When it is applied to the explicit square conservation scheme, the time precision of the scheme reaches to third order. Especially, the computational stability of this scheme is as good as the third order explicit Runge-Kutta scheme. The CPU time required in computations by the scheme is less than that required by the explicit square conservation scheme with the consistent dissipation operator constructed from the Runge-Kutta method. Therefore, the new operator is an economical one. The application of the operator to the improvement of the dynamical model of the L2 IAP AGCM shows its time-saving property and its good effects.
