Mesoscale-to-Microscale Coupling

This documentation describes the work completed within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Mesoscale-to-Microscale Coupling (MMC) project, part of DOE Wind Energy Technologies Office’s Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative. These docs will overview the numerical models utilized within the MMC project, provide information for running various case studies (including links to model setups, auxiliary input, pre- and post-processing code, and assessment notebooks), and describe the capabilities that have been developed within this eight-year effort.
