Regional MPAS--Model for Prediction Across Scales

Dr. Stephen Masters Consulting is now running regional MPAS domains in addition to two global forecasts run each day. MPAS (Model for Prediction Across Scales) was developed by and is supported by the National Center for Atmospheric Research. I am currently transitioning to Version 8.3.0 (June 2025) and am running on a 32-core Intel-i9 Linux system. These regional domains are initialized from the United States NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS).
