“tout le Monde se MAR” is a 53,000€ project funded by Labex OSUG@2020 over 2016-2018 and aiming to improve the local and international dissemination of the atmospheric model MAR.

MAR (Modèle Atmosphérique Régional) is an atmosphere model designed for meteorological and climatic research. It is used for a wide range of applications, from km-scale process studies to continental-scale multi-decadal simulations. It can be run for ideal test cases (e.g., 1-dimensional studies, simple gravity-wave configuration) or for realistic applications (constrained by reanalyses, operational forecasts, or global climate models). MAR was created in the mid-1990s, and most developments since then have been undertaken at IGE (former LGGE)/CNRS/UGA, Grenoble, France, and at the Liège University, Belgium.

The aim of “tout le Monde se MAR” is to open the code to the international community and to create a dedicated website designed to facilitate its implementation and use on various platforms and for a large range of applications. This project has been granted by the OSUG@2020 labex, and funds an Engineer for 18 months over 2016-2018.
