  We present a WENO-TVD scheme for the simulation of atmospheric phenomena. The
scheme considers a spatial discretization via a second-order TVD flux based
upon a flux-centered limiter approach, which makes use of high-order accurate
extrapolated values arising from a WENO reconstruction procedure. Time
discretization is performed with a third order RK-TVD scheme, and splitting is
used for the inclusion of source terms. We present a comprehensive performance
study of the method in atmospheric applications involving advective and
convective motion. We present a set of tests for space-dependent linear
advection, where we assess convergence and robustness with respect to the
parameters of the scheme. We apply the method to approximate the 2D Euler
equations in a series of tests for atmospheric convection.
