MM5 Modeling System Overview
Minimum Requirement for Running the Modeling System Software
-
Unix workstation with 128 Mb memory and 1-2 Gb disk. Note
though the hardware requirement increases with increase of mesh
sizes and grid resolution.
-
PC running Linux with Portland
Group Fortran and c compiler.
The primary reasons we choose this compiler are 1) it supports
Cray pointers which are used in MM5 model, and a few other programs;
and 2) it has Fortran 90 compiler.
-
NCAR Graphics. MM5 modeling system does not require NCAR Graphics
to run. One may use NCAR Graphics in programs Terrain, Rawins
and Graph to generate graphic output.
The part of NCAR Graphics required by MM5 modeling system
programs has become free to download. For information, please
see NCAR Graphics page
for details.
-
Able to acquire gridded meteorological dataset, and observations.
