STUDY NOTES: A collaborative modeling software project. The defining features of MPAS are the unstructured Voronoi meshes and C-grid discretization used. The unstructured Voronoi meshes, formally Spherical Centriodal Voronoi Tessellations (SCVTs), allow for both quasi-uniform discretization of the sphere and local refinement. The C-grid discretization, where the normal component of velocity on cell edges is prognosed, is especially well-suited for higher-resolution, mesoscale atmosphere and ocean simulations. DISCIPLINE KEYWORDS: Climatology and Atmospheric, Climatology, Paleoclimatology, Paleoenvironment. This resource description was produced with support from the NSF project entitled "EarthCube RCN: C4P: Collaboration and Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeosciences," (NSF ICER-1340301) under the direction of Kerstin A.
