MM4 (Penn State/NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research)) Mesoscale Model Version 4 documentation. Technical note
This document describes the general program design and data organization of the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model Version 4(MM4). The basic model was developed in the Pennsylvania State University over the past 15 years and has undergone many changes and improvements over the last 3 years, largely as a result of increased resources made available by the Acid Deposition Modeling Project (ADMP) at NCAR. Description of the basic model structure and data organization is given in enough detail that a user can begin to add to or modify the code for his own research. In the first chapter, the general structure is outlined. Chapter 2 describes all the PARAMETER statements used in the model. Chapter 3 presents a list of all the variables in common blocks. The individual subroutines are described in Chapter 4. Finally, job-control language, the source code, and the modification deck needed are given in Chapter 5.
