I've modified the DOME experiment slightly:
- it now uses the Leith variable bi-harmonic viscosity rather than fixed
harmonic viscosity
- reduced tolerance on the sovler to save time
- switched to "staggered time-stepping" to improve CFL on gravity waves
- increased the time-step from 50 seconds to 5 minutes.
- as a result of the above it runs much faster
These changes can be seen at

There's also a movie of the output at
