Dear WRF and MPAS-A Community:
The Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology (MMM) Laboratory of the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) will host a virtual tutorial on the Model for Prediction Across Scales – Atmosphere (MPAS-A) from 22 – 24 April 2024. The tutorial will cover the basics of how to set-up, run, and post-process stand alone MPAS-A simulations.
Specific topic will include:
The primary audience for this tutorial is new or beginning users of MPAS-Atmosphere. Basic knowledge of atmospheric science and numerical modeling as well as experience working in a Unix computing environment are required for the tutorial.
Key dates:
