The model utilizes 38 vertical full-sigma levels see below, and is run in
non-hydrostatic mode in order to limit pressure gradient force errors
over the complex terrain. An upper-radiative boundary condition is used
to allow gravity waves to radiate through the model top without being
reflected. The following table describes the phyics options we are
currently using:
