Adapting the MPAS Dynamical Core for Applications Extending Into the Thermosphere

Abstract To extend the nonhydrostatic global Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) for deep‐atmosphere (geospace) applications, we have modified the model equations and numerics to include variable atmospheric composition and (potentially large) molecular viscosity and thermal conductivity. The...
