MstrnX

What's MstrnX
MstrnX is an updated version from mstrn8, which is a broad-band model package for GCM.
The updates from mstrn8 are mainly the method of gas absorption. The absorption coefficients are already calculated using correlated k-distribution method and tabulated in PARAG file.
There are 3 versions of PARAG file for optimal uses.
1.Standard version (18 Bands 40 integration points)
2.Corresponding for global warming (29 Bands 111 integration points)
3.Corresponding for chemical transport (37 Bands 126 integration points)

This package contains:
README : This file.
Makefile : Makefile to compile this package.
Mkinclude : Filenames and difinitions of make are written in this file.
main.msx2.f90 : main routine of this package.
data/ : You can find some datasets below this directory.
data/DATA.1-6 : AFGL standard atmospheric condition.
data/PARAG.?? : Parameter file for gaseous absorption.
data/PARAPC.?? : Parameter file for scattering, solar and planck function, etc.
data/VARDATA.RM?? : Table for particle growth for water vapor.

and 10 subroutines.
You should choose a parameter file which is suitable for your optimal use.
