The goal of the project is to produce ''accurate gridded datasets of atmospheric fields''. The data will be used by meteorologists for weather analysis and forecasts as well as being a tool for climate research. This paper discusses their plans to parallelize the core code of the system. They include a section on parallel I/O.} }
