We develop new implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX RK) methods for integrating horizontally explicit, vertically implicit (HEVI) partitionings of nonhydrostatic atmosphere models (HEVI models). These new methods, termed IMKG methods, are IMEX RK methods whose explicit part has optimal or near-optimal stability on the imaginary axis and whose implicit part is I-stable. A specialized stability region is presented for characterizing the stability of IMKG and other IMEX methods integrating HEVI models. Subsequently, we formulate two families of IMEX RK methods to enable deriving IMKG methods with a high explicit stage count for integrating HEVI models with large, stable time-steps. Here, we then derive a HEVI partitioning of the HOMME-NH nonhydrostatic model and use this model to compare the accuracy and efficiency of several IMKG methods with other IMEX RK methods from the literature.
