Scythe model Version 1.0.0

This is the first public release of the Scythe numerical weather prediction model. The 1.0.0 version contains a semi-spectral dynamical core with geometric options in linear, polar, and cylindrical coordinates. It contains tested advection, shallow water, and boundary layer models.

Release Notes

This version of the code was used to produce the results in Cha and Bell (2024) submitted for peer review to Weather and Climate Dynamics. A Jupyter notebook to reproduce the initial conditions and run the one-way and two-way shallow water/slab boundary layer models is provided in this release.

Additional models are still in development and should be considered experimental in this version. Documentation is still limited, and will be added in subsequent releases.
