Short summary
Atmospheric simulation should obey the physical conservation law: in a closed atmospheric system, some of the invariants should be conserved, i.e. the total mass, total energy, total absolute vorticity and so on. In this paper, we have improved the conservative properties of the atmospheric model which is based on an arbitrarily structured C-grid. The tests show that better conservative properties bring us less simulation error, and the stability of model is also improved.
