The Red Herring Affair, modified semi-implicit methods revisited

"The semi-implicit integration method has been studied at considerable length at NMC since the summer of 1969. It was then that an effort began to examine A. Robert's suggestion that the method offered considerable potential for reducing the computation time required in primitive equation integrations. Following a successful application of the method to a barotropic model (McPherson, 1971), an extension to a simple baroclinic model was attempted"--Introduction. Ronald D. McPherson, Paul D. Polger.
