Purpose. The study is aimed at generalizing the Arakawa-Lamb scheme for discrete equations of the horizontal components of three-dimensional absolute vorticity of an ideal fluid and analyzing its features. Methods and Results. To derive the finite-difference three-dimensional equations of absolute vorticity, a grid containing more unknowns than equations is applied, that permits obtaining the discrete motion equations which, in their turn, yield the equation for absolute vorticity. The resulting expression is presented in the form of three terms reflecting different features of the discrete equations. The first term provides the fulfillment of the energy conservation law for discrete statement, the second term represents the presence of two quadratic invariants for a divergence-free flow, the addition of the third term results in the Arakawa-Lamb scheme under the shallow water approximation. It follows from the presented expression that the second and third terms, which have no analogues in the continuous statement, can be interpreted as a zero approximation with the second order of accuracy...
