We will present results from the nonhydrostatic atmospheric global Voronoi (hexagonal) mesh model MPAS (Model for Prediction Across Scales) using the WRF-NRCM physics and variable resolution meshes. The results show that the variable resolution MPAS meshes produce clean forecasts in these preliminary NWP forecasts.
