MPAS-v8.1.0

====

The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is a collaborative project for

developing atmosphere, ocean, and other earth-system simulation components for

use in climate, regional climate, and weather studies. The primary development

partners are the climate modeling group at Los Alamos National Laboratory

(COSIM) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Both primary

partners are responsible for the MPAS framework, operators, and tools common to

the applications; LANL has primary responsibility for the ocean model, and NCAR

has primary responsibility for the atmospheric model.

The MPAS framework facilitates the rapid development and prototyping of models

by providing infrastructure typically required by model developers, including

high-level data types, communication routines, and I/O routines. By using MPAS,

developers can leverage pre-existing code and focus more on development of

their model.

BUILDING

========

This README is provided as a brief introduction to the MPAS framework. It does

not provide details about each specific model, nor does it provide building

instructions.

For information about building and running each core, please refer to each

core's user's guide, which can be found at the following web sites:

[MPAS-Atmosphere](http://mpas-dev.github.io/atmosphere/atmosphere_download.html)

[MPAS-Albany Land Ice](http://mpas-dev.github.io/land_ice/download.html)

[MPAS-Ocean](http://mpas-dev.github.io/ocean/releases.html)

[MPAS-Seaice](http://mpas-dev.github.io/sea_ice/releases.html)

Code Layout

----------

Within the MPAS repository, code is laid out as follows. Sub-directories are

only described below the src directory.

	MPAS-Model

	├── src

	│   ├── driver -- Main driver for MPAS in stand-alone mode (Shared)

	│   ├── external -- External software for MPAS (Shared)

	│   ├── framework -- MPAS Framework (Includes DDT Descriptions, and shared routines. Shared)

	│   ├── operators -- MPAS Opeartors (Includes Operators for MPAS meshes. Shared)

	│   ├── tools -- Empty directory for include files that Registry generates (Shared)

	│   │   ├── registry -- Code for building Registry.xml parser (Shared)

	│   │   └── input_gen -- Code for generating streams and namelist files (Shared)

	│   └── core_* -- Individual model cores.

	│       └── inc -- Empty directory for include files that Registry generates

	├── testing_and_setup -- Tools for setting up configurations and test cases (Shared)

	└── default_inputs -- Copies of default stream and namelists files (Shared)

Model cores are typically developed independently. For information about

building and running a particular core, please refer to that core's user's

guide.
