MPAS-Atmosphere Idealized Test Cases

The downloads below for MPAS-Atmosphere idealized test cases include the following:

an MPAS mesh file to be used with the test case;
for 3-d test cases, mesh decomposition files for several MPI task counts;
a namelist file for creating initial conditions for the test case;
a namelist file for running the model; and
NCL scripts for making plots of the output.

The process of generating initial conditions and running each test case is described in further detail in the MPAS-Atmosphere Users' Guide.
