 In order to prevent gravity waves from being reflected at the top boundary, a sponge layer (Rayleigh damping) can be applied to all prognostic variables in the upper part of the model domain ([#klemp1978 Klemp and Lilly, 1978]). Such a sponge layer should be applied only within the free atmosphere, where no turbulence is present.

+The model is initialized by horizontally homogeneous vertical profiles of potential temperature, water vapor mixing ratio (or a passive scalar), and
 the horizontal wind velocities. The latter can be also provided from a 1-D precursor run (see Sect.[wiki:doc/tec/1dmodel 1-D model for precursor runs]). Uniformly distributed random perturbations with a user-defined amplitude can be imposed to  the fields of the horizontal velocities components to initiate turbulence.
