MUSICA software development ecosystem

Demonstrating MUSICA in 3d Modeling

For the past several years, the MUSICA software engineering team has been creating a software library that represents atmospheric chemistry processes in a model independent and runtime configurable fashion so that MUSICA can interface with any atmosphere model. In the January 2024 newsletter, we showed this vision for MUSICA software development; a simplified version of the schematic is repeated in Figure 1.
