Dear MPAS Community

Is there an application I can use to create my own variable-resolution mesh or does anyone have a 240km - ~50km mesh ?

The motivation behind this is that I have run a 32 year simulation using the 240km quasi-uniform grid and would like to do another run using a 240-50 km in order to evaluate how well the variable grid improves/does not improve my results. This work is part of my PhD studies and it would be great if I can show the difference between the Uniform vs Variable-resolution simulation.

Please if you have a variable resolution of 240km to any higher resolution grid please do share.

Kind regards

Sorry for taking so long to reply! Unfortunately, we are not yet ready to support mesh generation to the general MPAS-Atmosphere community. However, there is a 240-48 km variable-resolution mesh that is provided as part of the on-line tutorial files that may meet your needs. If you download the tutorial input files from this page, you will find the "x5.30210.grid.nc" file in the mpas_tutorial/meshes directory after unpacking the .tar.gz file.
