MPAS-Atmosphere Idealized Test Cases


The downloads below for MPAS-Atmosphere idealized test cases include the following:
  • An MPAS mesh file to be used with the test case

  • Mesh decomposition files for several MPI task counts (for 3-d test cases)

  • A namelist file for creating initial conditions for the test case

  • A namelist file for running the model

  • NCL scripts for making plots of the output

The process of generating initial conditions and running each test case is described in further detail in the MPAS-Atmosphere Users’ Guide.
