RAMS
Regional Atmospheric Modeling System

RAMS is a multipurpose, numerical prediction model designed to simulate atmospheric circulations spanning in scale from hemispheric scales down to large eddy simulations (LES) of the planetary boundary layer. The most frequent applications of RAMS are to simulate atmospheric phenomena on the mesoscale (horizontal scales from 2 km to 2000 km) for purposes ranging from operational weather forecasting to air quality and dispersion applications to support of basic research. There were more than 200 RAMS installations in over 40 countries before the GPL release. Since then (Dec 2003), there have been over 1100 registrations for downloads on our web site.
