Model for Prediction Across Scales

<p>The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is an Earth system modeling <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> that integrates <a href="/facts/Atmosphere_of_Earth/FV97Am25">atmospheric</a>, <a href="/facts/Oceanography/LtrG6peD">oceanographic</a>, and <a href="/facts/Cryosphere/0taEf85w">cryospheric</a> modeling across scales from regional to planetary. It includes <a href="/facts/Climate_model/5xQBYLcl">climate</a> and <a href="/facts/Numerical_weather_prediction/TXdbEfE4">weather</a> modeling and simulations that were used initially by researchers in 2013. The atmospheric models were created by the Earth System Laboratory at the <a href="/facts/National_Center_for_Atmospheric_Research/7um3PUh3">National Center for Atmospheric Research</a> and the oceanographic models were created by the Climate, Ocean, and Sea Ice Modeling Group at <a href="/facts/Los_Alamos_National_Laboratory/tlrLkV7r">Los Alamos National Laboratory</a>. The software has been used to model real-time weather as well as seasonal <a href="/facts/Forecasting/pwFtGyzM">forecasting</a> of <a href="/facts/Atmospheric_convection/WGNzCHX5">convection</a>, <a href="/facts/Tornado/HSGNQzHa">tornadoes</a> and <a href="/facts/Tropical_cyclone/FQzVXly7">tropical cyclones</a>. The atmospheric modeling component of the software can be used with other atmospheric modeling software including the <a href="/facts/Weather_Research_and_Forecasting_Model/MaVdxk8d">Weather Research and Forecasting Model</a>, the <a href="/facts/Global_Forecast_System/1V7Cvq5U">Global Forecast System</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Community_Earth_System_Model/TVUDKaoG">Community Earth System Model</a>.
