*[http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/mm5v3/wherev3.html MM5] The PSU/NCAR mesoscale model (known as MM5) is a limited-area, nonhydrostatic, terrain-following sigma-coordinate model designed to simulate or predict mesoscale atmospheric circulation. The model is supported by several pre- and post-processing programs, which are referred to collectively as the MM5 modeling system. The MM5 modeling system software is mostly written in Fortran, and has been developed at Penn State and NCAR as a community mesoscale model with contributions from users worldwide.
*[http://www.wrf-model.org/index.php WRF] The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a next-generation mesocale numerical weather prediction system designed to serve both operational forecasting and atmospheric research needs. It features multiple dynamical cores, a 3-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system, and a software architecture allowing for computational parallelism and system extensibility. WRF is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications across scales ranging from meters to thousands of kilometers.

	*[http://climate.lanl.gov/Models/POP/ POP] (Parallel Ocean Program) is an ocean circulation model derived from earlier models of Bryan, Cox, Semtner and Chervin in which depth is used as the vertical coordinate. The model solves the three-dimensional primitive equations for fluid motions on the sphere under hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations. Spatial derivatives are computed using finite-difference discretizations which are formulated to handle any generalized orthogonal grid on a sphere, including dipole and tripole grids which shift the North Pole singularity into land masses to avoid time step constraints due to grid convergence.		*[http://climate.lanl.gov/Models/POP/ POP] (Parallel Ocean Program) is an ocean circulation model derived from earlier models of Bryan, Cox, Semtner and Chervin in which depth is used as the vertical coordinate.

		+	*[http://mom-ocean.org/web MOM] (The Modular Ocean Model) is a numerical ocean model based on the hydrostatic primitive equations. MOM development is led by scientists at NOAA/GFDL in collaboration with scientists worldwide. Version 5 of MOM (MOM5) is an open source project released under the GPL license.
