  • NDAD(m) : is the model number of the father of each model “m”

  • NDTRATIO(m) : is the ratio between time step of model m and its father NDAD(m)

  • XWAY(m) : is the interactive nesting level for model m and its father NDAD(m)

    • 1 one-way interactions

    • 2 two-way interactions : upward information are given to the father (also for 2D fields (Surface precipitation and short wave radiative fluxes) that are used by the surface

  • LCOUPLES : flag to activate the auto-coupling ocean-atmosphere version of Meso-NH. Domains 1 and 2 correspond to the atmosphere model and the ocean model respectively. This work is still in development.
