[Beowulf] Re: weather modeling cluster

[Particle Boy]

I'll also recommend the WRF. The WRF EMS kit from STRC at UCAR is a Good 
Thing:
http://strc.comet.ucar.edu/wrf/index.htm

I got it going quickly and relatively easily without any prior 
experience of large models. Bob R has an entertaining  sense of humour 
(you'll see from the scripts) and was also kind enough to quickly send 
me a starter kit all the way down here to Oz. Great service :)

If your students are looking to tinker with code, I had a lot of fun 
with PUMA:
