Overview of the Meso-NH model version 5.4 and its applications (2018, methodology): “In addition to the originally implemented vertical coordinate (Gal-Chen and Somerville, 1975), it is also now possible to use the smooth-level vertical coordinate (SLEVE) (Schär et al., 2002) where small-scale features in the coordinate surfaces decay rapidly with height, limiting the existence of s”
