WRF is a mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications WRF presentation.

In the PCM, we take advantage of the dynamical core of the WRF model to run LES (large-eddy simulations) or mesoscale simulations.

To do so, we take the WRF model, remove all its physical packages linked to Earth's atmosphere, and plug in the physical package from the PCM (either Venus, Mars, Titan, or Generic).

Description of the various equations solved by WRF can be found here: Skamarock et al. (2019, 2021).
