Abstract: The Hamiltonian nature of the dynamic equations of atmosphere is studied further, based on its regular form and its infinitely many first integrals equipped with a given Poisson bracket. Without the friction and forcing processes, the dynamic equation system of atmosphere is proved to be a Hamiltonian system. A symplectic scheme to solve the system is proposed, whose good performance is shown in a numerical experiment.

Key words: dynamic equations of atmosphere, Hamiltonian system, symplectic scheme
