- The vote for absolute worse mesoscale model has to be the one I
- used for my Master's research (hint, none that have been previously
- mentioned, and it is anonymous to protect the innocent). It had no
- documentation, and it's boundary consitions didn't radiate out the
- gravity waves like it was suppose to (it's a compressible atmosphere
- but uses a time-splitting scheme).
-
- I had gravity and sound waves bouncing all over the place! It took some
- extra-fine tinkering to get realistic results. I'll take any of the other
- models anyday.
-
- Needless to say, I am now doing observational research for my doctorate
- program.
